Summary: | With the advent of globalization and post-regulatory States that enhance social
relations and communications at the national and international levels, various
political, economic, social and cultural powers have been emerged resulting in
the appearance of a pluralistic sovereignty. Intellectual and philosophical
foundations of this matter is well evident in Foucault's thought. Therefore, with
the study of sovereignty in the area of global governance and post-regulatory
States, and explaining the philosophical roots of the post-modern concept of
sovereignty in Foucault's thought, it is revealed that the concept of sovereignty
is deeply changed in meaning; and so, this paper attempts to analyze this new
concept of sovereignty. Moreover, the understanding of recent concept of
sovereignty to determine future policies and laws of the society deems
significant. Focusing on public law, the postmodern concept of sovereignty is
portrayed in this paper.
