| Title | Report From Practically Somewhere: Liberland, Sovereignty, and Norm Contestation |
| Summary | Liberland is a state that does not exist––or rather, it is not recognized by any other state and is occupied by Croatian police despite Croatia not claiming the territory. This project to form a new sovereign state on what would otherwise be terra nullius reignites debates of the normative and legal rule of sovereignty in its declaratory and constitutive forms. The exclusion of Liberland from international society demonstrates the operative paradigm of sovereignty as favoring norm over law. By examining why this is so, the purpose of sovereignty as a structure to reproduce power asymmetries in international society is revealed. |
