About the Book

The 21st century has been marked by the increasing irrelevance of the nation-state as a locus of the political. Multinational financial, espionage and business organizations pay ever-decreasing attention to the fractured sovereignty nation-state. Even the ex - super power USA is a debtor nation vis-a-vis China.Lagging behind actual developments is sovereignty theory and philosophy, still bound to the hidebound Peace of Westphalia of 1648 indivisible sovereignty doctrine, according to which all the participants at the 1648 Peace Conference saw the advantages of French unitary sovereignty and then adopted it themselves throughout Europe, after which it was allegedly adopted worldwide.In LEIBNIZ CONTRA WESTPHALIA William F. Drischler argues Westphalian/French indivisible sovereignty was nipped in the bud by the victors in the War of the Spanish Succession, 1704-1714, after which the Blenheim victors installed their own sovereignty system - Leibnizian-Blenheimian lax sovereignty - one which promoted the Westphalian doctrine as a distractor from their own supra-national secret diplomacy activities, eventually achieving global hegemony with the gambit.Playing a key role in articulation of the new network installed at the Peace of Utrecht in 1713 was German philosopher and polyhistor G.W. Leibniz (1646-1716), whose lax sovereignty model - posed in opposition to the unitary sovereignty proposals of Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) - carried the day. Radically revising the widespread perception Leibniz' lax sovereignty philosophy was a quaint, untried alternative to universalized Westphalian sovereignty, William F. Drischler contends the former became the global standard by the 19th century. In opposition to the notion the philosopher was a pliant spokesman for German particularist interests, Drischler contends Leibniz was a dedicated revolutionary furthering the maritime-bounded NOMOS sovereignty revolution of 1713 which came to rule Europe for centuries, according to Carl Schmitt.LEIBNIZ CONTRA WESTPHALIA is indispensable reading for understanding the post-national constellation of the 21st century.
About the Author: William F. Drischler (b. 1950) is the author of 'The Political Biography of the Young Leibniz in the Age of Secret Diplomacy' (2006). He is an activist in the environmental movement to save the Peel River Watershed in the Yukon Territory of Canada.
