First, it would be useful to discuss the two faces of sovereignty (internal and external sovereignty). Second, this article lacks an in depth explanation of sovereignty and its function in international relations. This concept lays the foundation for how states interact with each-other and therefore requires an more in depth analysis. Furthermore, it is hard to discuss sovereignty without also discussing anarchy and hierarchy. These three principles intertwine in international relations. This article also fails to show the transition from "old sovereignty" to present sovereignty which deals greatly the movement of a state across borders and its inability to control those movements. Furthermore, this article would not be complete without discussing how sovereignty implies that a state can enter into any treaty it wishes. Among the gaps in this article, there is no mention of the treat of Westphalia of 1648. This treaty ended the Thirty-Years war that killed half of Europe and created a blue print for sovereignty. This treaty also created the foundation for the system of states we still utilize today. It may be useful to add that many researchers consider sovereignty a social construct and therefore open to a changing interpretation. Krasner mentions that sovereignty is a principle that is here to stay but is open to a different interpretation as time goes on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crystalnicole47 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
