The Nature and Philosophy of Sovereignty: A Comparative Analysis of Western and Islamic Notions of Sovereignty

Abstract

    Sovereignty is one of the most appreciated attributes of a political system. However, there are certain issues to which political thinkers share competing views: the original presenters of the concept of sovereignty, how the concept of sovereignty evolved, how a sovereign represents the will of people, and what are the common and differentiating features of sovereignty between the western and the Islamic political thinkers. With qualitative research methodology, this work aimed to investigate historical roots of sovereignty and it explicated by whom the legal exposition of sovereignty was initially given. The research at hand critically investigated the notion of sovereignty and highlighted the contribution of western and Islamic philosophers in the conceptualization of the idea of sovereignty and its relation with other attributes such as government and democracy are comparatively examined
