FERNANDES, António Horta. On Sovereignty. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2009, n.24, pp.135-153. ISSN 1645-9199.

Sovereignty and what it means is less discussed on Political Science and International Relations. May be we could justify it because of the empiric and positivism that even more support that studies. However, the main justification could be found on the way as the rational sovereigns has crossed the modern and contemporary political body - seems to be the air we breathe. This article will try to deconstruct this impregnation and to alert to the uncertain consistence of sovereignty by stressing its architecture.

Keywords : Sovereignty; power; life; Agamben.
