本文主要探讨主权，特别是国家主权的理念和实践。它论述了自20世纪60年代以来，主权在英国与欧盟、爱尔兰和北爱尔兰以及英国内部的政策中所体现的方式。它辩称，尽管英国仍然依附于主权这一古老的语言，但英国已经调整了它在欧盟和爱尔兰/北爱尔兰方面的主权做法。此外，尽管议会的至高无上地位在英国的权力下放协议中得到了重申，但权力从中央向外下放的“过程”不太可能被逆转。但是，有人认为，这些变化是以零碎的方式发生的，没有多少新的主权语言。
Abstract This essay focuses on the idea and practice of sovereignty, in particular state sovereignty. It deals with the ways sovereignty has featured in British policy since the 1960s in connection with the EU, Ireland and Northern Ireland, and within Great Britain. It argues that, despite continuing attachment to the old language of sovereignty, the UK has adapted how it ‘does’ sovereignty in connection with the EU and Ireland/Northern Ireland. In addition, while the supremacy of parliament is restated in the UK devolution settlements, it is unlikely that the ‘process’ of devolution of power away from the centre can be reversed. But, it is argued, such changes have taken place in piecemeal fashion and without much of a new language of sovereignty.
