Rethinking Sovereignty? Territories and Contracts

Abstract

Notions of sovereignty, both domestic and geopolitical, posit spatial, social, and authoritative boundaries, and binding relations of power, rights, and contract. This panel examines these boundaries and relationships - perhaps of special significance given the Scottish Independence Referendum due to take place just two weeks after this conference.
