Summary: The theme of this symposium is apparent from its title: In Deiense of Sovereignty. An anthology of this type, apart from serving as a university textbook, can play a new role-that of fostering an argument, or scholarly polemic, and perhaps bringing to a boil a discourse on one of the central concepts in political theory. I see my task as not only that of selecting and presenting papers, but also taking issue with some of the chief critics of the concept of sovereignty and taking a definite stand regarding its validity. The papers collected in this book fall into two groups: one group opposes the concept of sovereignty and the other defends it. The reader will become aware that although there has not been any 'debate' on sovereignty, there have been prolonged-although inconclusive-discussions about the relevance of the concept to the modern world.
