The Clausewitz Manifesto: On Preserving National Sovereignty

By Nicholas Ierullo

National Sovereignty equals the control of a nation's destiny. In a world marked by technological advances which have reduced both time and space to inconsequential details the nation states of the last couple of centuries face an unsure future. It order to understand what the nation state actually is and why it is something worth preserving we must first understand how it was first created and what allowed it to exist over all these years.While those calling for more globalization dismiss the nation state as a relic of a bygone era the very fact that no nation has willingly given up national sovereignty despite the apparent benefits of globalization is cause enough to explore the concept of the nation one more time. In this book we are guided by the theories of Carl von Clausewitz and other theorists who have explored questions of national sovereignty over the centuries.In The Clausewitz Manifesto the author warns against the dangers facing national sovereignty today and in the future. The forces of internationalism on one side and localism on the other threaten the existence of the nation state which finds itself situated by these two extremes.
