Conceptions of sovereignty and identity economics: a Chinese-based exploration
by Roda Mushkat
International Journal of Public Law and Policy (IJPLAP), Vol. 4, No. 3, 2014

Abstract: Constructivism has proved to be a powerful tool for dissecting international legal and political phenomena, such as sovereignty. However, like the intellectual paradigms which it seeks to complement, perhaps even unrealistically to supplant, this framework possesses limited explanatory power when proponents shun ideas from other sources and refrain from engaging in theoretical bridge-building. Identity economics has the potential to bring about cross-fertilisation between divergent schools of thought and, as China's experience selectively illustrates, place the empirical study of sovereignty on a firmer analytical footing.
