Biography
Panu Minkkinen is Professor of Law at the University of Leicester and Adjunct Professor of Legal Theory at the University of Helsinki.
"...one of the (many) fruitful lessons Minkkinen’s book teaches is the irreducible diversity of sovereignty in all its many guises. In all, Minkkinen’s command of the philosophical and jurisprudential sources marshalled here is impressive and this makes for a book well worth the effort exacted in reading and re-reading." - Ben Golder, University of New South Wales; Law, Culture and the Humanities, Volume 6, No. 3, October 2010
