![]() Three ensembles can be isolated, which are defined as subsystems. ![]() The granular composition of a macro-system is mainly relevant when the ensemble of micro-systems is dominated by heterogeneity and interaction inducing emergent phenomena which cannot be explained other than by following statistical reasonings and inferential methods, that is, phenomena taking place at the macroscopic level and for which the complete knowledge of the microscopic world is not enough.įor instance, assume that the system is a sector of economic activity in the economy and consider there are firms of different sizes, for example, small, medium and big firms. If the composition into parts is relevant, the system is the ensemble of subsystems, a macroscopic collective body of microscopic units which organize a hierarchical structure of mesoscopic subsystems. From a complex systems perspective, a system is a collection of constituents dominated by intrinsic stochastic laws, due to the interactive behavior of heterogeneous parts, for every possible granularity of the description. Intuitively, a system can be defined as an assembly of parts, as a collective body, where each element does something in such a way that, all together, the parts cooperate to perform some kind of collective action or cause a macroscopic emergent phenomenon. ![]() Acta Juridica 1: 1–37.The first notion to consider is the notion of system.

A main immediate consequence is that sovereign States can cooperate together, limit their sovereignty and still be considered sovereign.Ĭarrio, G. The implications of understanding State sovereignty as limited rather than absolute are several, both directly and indirectly. Therein, the current concept of State sovereignty embraces the same limitations it had in its ancient form as a non-fully developed conceptual idea. The particular focus on early notions of a modern concept such as sovereignty has to do with the fact that this early notion has been anthropomorphised with societal evolution. The article consists of two main sections: (a) the concept of sovereignty: this section is focused on some of the limitations the concept of sovereignty itself presents and (b) a historical account of the notion of sovereignty as it was used in the Ancient Times. limited sovereignty is the norm, though the nature of the limitations varies. ![]() Indeed, absolute sovereignty is impossible because all sovereignty is necessarily underpinned by its conditions of possibility-i.e. This paper argues that there is no such a thing as absolute State sovereignty. State sovereignty is often thought to be absolute, unlimited.
