Pluriversal Sovereignty and the State. Imperial Encounters in Sri Lanka, Hardback/Ajay Parasram

This book explains how the processes of ˜total territorial rule™ at the core of the modern international system became normalised in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). It develops a decolonial framework informed by a ˜pluriverse™ of multiple ontologies of sovereignty to argue that the state itself is an outcome of imperial globalisation. -- .
