Summary The idea that sovereignty includes the responsibility to protect is often seen as a departure from the classic definition, but it actually has deep historical roots. In this work, Luke Glanville argues that this responsibility extends back to the 16th and 17th centuries, and that states have since been accountable to God, the people, and the international community.
Contents The social construction of sovereign responsibilities -- Sovereignty in early modern Europe -- The rise of popular sovereignty -- Sovereignty and the non-European world -- Sovereignty after the Second World War -- The rise of the responsibility to protect.
