"It is Přibáň’s unique contribution to an understanding of contemporary sovereignty that provides the methodological invitation for further analysis of dissonance between the structures and semantics of global law and politics." - Jack Meakin, University of Glasgow" (...) Jirˇı´ Prˇiba´nˇ’s book is a timely contribution to current debates on the relevance of sovereignty to our contemporary society." - RICHARD NOBLES AND DAVID SCHIFF, Queen Mary University of London, UK
"In my opinion, the book raises the stakes in the debates about European constitutionalism and sovereignty and the theoretical constructs and narratives that promote it. This makes it stimulating and it is certainly worthwhile to engage with its arguments." - Urška Šadl, Copenhagen
