Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty (1917)

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the theory of the state, this influential study by Laski explores the dynamics of political power through historical and contemporary examples, including the Catholic Revival and the formation of the German Empire. He argues that the state is not an ultimate authority but rather one of many associations vying for public loyalty and obedience. This foundational work sets the stage for Laski's later writings, contributing significantly to political theory. Originally published in 1917, it remains a critical examination of state authority.
