Sommario/riassunto |
|
'Surpassing the Sovereign State' shows that in regions throughout the world partially independent territories (including Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Kurdistan, New Caledonia, and others) tend to be wealthier and more secure than sovereign states. This book explains how these polities emerge, maintain themselves, and sometimes come to an end. |
