The Return of Sovereignty in International Law
Euroscepticism\, anti-immigration sentiments\, fortified borders\, trade barriers\, de-globalization\, falte ring international alliances: today\, state sovereignty is resurgent and d efensive postures toward national political autonomy are everywhere. They reveal an intense debate over the meaning\, scope\, and consequences of so vereignty in relation to international law. Whereas some scholars worry th at a return to sovereignty presages the end of the post-World War II liber al order\, my new approach posits that sovereignty is in fact the basis fo r international law—not its antagonist. After all\, the UN Charter’s sover eign equality and noninterference clauses help define the international sy stem. Thus\, the return of sovereignty can be seen as an adaptive response by states seeking both to rely on international law and to invoke bedrock principles of sovereignty in order to manage integrationist pressures\, s uch as global trade\, transnational threats\, and intrusive international organizations. An appeal to sovereign preferences is permissible under int ernational law so long as it does not evade ratified agreements.
