本文讨论了最近对主权概念的修订，强调事实上的主权而不是法律上的主权，将主权理解为对主权的行为性要求的效果。作为这种方法的一个含义，我们开始看到政治格局是由多个，重叠，共存，有时竞争的主权主张在边界内和边界外运作。文章建议使用“主权的形成”作为理解这些政治格局的一种方式，以及它们在特定地区随时间变化的方式。从经验上讲，本文分析了不同形式的主权在危地马拉市与墨西哥边境，从20世纪80年代初的内战到现在。
This article discusses the recent revision of the notion of sovereignty that emphasizes de facto rather than de jure sovereignty, understanding sovereignty as an effect of performative claims to sovereignty. As an implication of this approach, we come to see political landscapes as formed by multiple, overlapping, coexisting, and sometimes competing claims to sovereignty operating within and across boundaries. The article suggests using “formations of sovereignty” as a way of understanding these political landscapes and the way they change over time in specific areas. Empirically, the article analyzes different formations of sovereignty in a Guatemalan municipality at the border with Mexico, from before the civil war of the early 1980s to the present.
