2005年7月出版的《国际研究评论》刊登了美国乔治敦大学鲁道夫·克里斯托弗题为《全球化时代的国家主权和领土边界》的文章。文章以经济全球化、地区一体化和日益增多的移民跨国流动为背景,对世界贸易中的国家主权和领土边界状况进行了考察。通过对发达工业国家大战略中的主权构成的解析,不仅提供了一个观察主权影响国家管理的视角,还揭示了一个亚概念:社会主权。为了从不断增长的贸易和资本迁移中获取经济利益,国家可以主动地让渡主权;而公众对大规模的国际移民所造成的社会、政治和经济后果的关心也表明:相对于形成社会政治共同体而言,他…

Sovereignty and Territorial Borders in a Global Age

In an age marked by economic globalization,regional integration,and increasing transborder flows,some have questioned the continued viability of state sovereignty and territorial borders.

By disaggregating sovereignty into its constitutive parts,the essay not only provides insights into how these facets affect modern statecraft but also reveals an underconceptualized dimension: societal sovereignty. Whereas sovereignty is willingly ceded by states to gain economically from increased trade and capital mobility,public concern over the social,political,and economic effects of high levels of international migration indicates a growing sensitivity to the maintenance of sovereignty over access to social and political community. In this process,borders serve an increasingly important symbolic function in maintaining stable conceptions of national identity that constitute the cornerstone of the nation-state.
