""Notes on Sovereignty: From the Standpoint of the State and of the World"" is a book written by Robert Lansing in 1921. Lansing was an American lawyer and diplomat who served as the United States Secretary of State during World War I. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that Lansing gave on the topic of sovereignty, which he defines as the supreme authority of a state to govern itself.Lansing argues that sovereignty is a complex and multifaceted concept, and that it can be understood from both the perspective of the state and of the world. He examines the historical development of sovereignty, from the ancient Greeks to the modern nation-state, and discusses the challenges that arise when different states with different forms of sovereignty interact with one another.The book also includes a discussion of the role of international law in governing the relations between sovereign states, and an exploration of the idea of a ""league of nations"" as a means of promoting international cooperation and preventing war.Overall, ""Notes on Sovereignty"" is a thoughtful and insightful analysis of one of the most fundamental concepts in political theory, written by a prominent figure in American diplomacy during a critical period in world history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
