Why Sovereignty Matters
(Jeremy Rabkin)
Sovereign nations now readily submit their domestic policies to international agreements and supranational institutions. Jeremy Rabkin warns that international regulation, such as the Kyoto Protocol's ambitious scheme to combat global warming, will seriously distort the American constitutional system, threatening federalism, separation of powers, and property rights. Why Sovereignty Matters argues for reviving the traditional American view on the proper form and reach of international agreements. This book is one in a series of new AEI studies related to the globalization of environmental policy.
Jeremy Rabkin is a professor in the Department of Government at Cornell University, where he teaches American constitutional law, international law, and the history of political thought.
For the first time in decades, U.S. international commitments have begun to stir warnings-from both the left and the right-about threats to our "sovereignty." It is easy to dismiss such warnings, if one takes them to imply that the United Nations or some other international authority will force the United States to do something its own government is resolved not to do.
