*Edkins and Pin-Fat, 2004, Introduction: life, power, resistance, in: Sovereign Lives: Power in Global Politics. “Because of the way in which they conceptualize power as an object to be possessed by someone or something, the traditional images of world politics that we started with focus on institutions that are assumed to be the holders of power: the sovereign state, international organizations, social movements perhaps, and multinational corporations. They are concerned to ask about the relative significance of these institutions in the contemporary world. In contrast, the contributors to this volume are not interested so much in institutions themselves as in what they see as the prior question of the forms of power relation that give rise to and sustain particular institutions in the first place…The second claim motivating this collection is that sovereign power is far from dead…We want to break away from a notion of ‘sovereignty’ as synonymous with ‘sovereign statehood’ that often appears at the center of analysis. Instead we want to insist upon an engagement with the term ‘sovereign power'”.
