The Credibility of Sovereignty The Political Fiction of a Concept

The book explores the complex bilateral relations between Switzerland and the European Union, focusing on the implications for Swiss sovereignty amid Europeanisation. It delves into philosophical debates surrounding the nature of sovereignty, questioning what is at stake in these relations. By engaging with Derrida's deconstructionist views, it reveals the fictional aspects of sovereignty and critiques the realist perspective. The analysis connects theoretical and practical dimensions of sovereignty, offering insights into the credibility of Swiss claims and highlighting a theological dimension in political discourse.
