Pluriversal sovereignty and the state

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the normalization of 'total territorial rule' in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) within the context of the modern international system. It introduces a decolonial framework that emphasizes a 'pluriverse' of diverse ontologies of sovereignty, arguing that the state is a product of imperial globalization. Through this lens, it examines the implications of colonial legacies on contemporary governance and territoriality, challenging conventional understandings of statehood and sovereignty.
