Analysing citizenship: what do the social movements in the Southern Basque Country say?

Abstract

Sovereignity in question: In the thougt of Rousseau and Hardt & Negri In the following commentaries based on the point of view of Rousseau, Hard and Negri we will examine the concept of sovereignty, which is problematic in the theory of state. Knowing the subject that the authors reveal, we overturn the models of sovereignty that are characterized by the quality of the use of power by them. In fact, while Rousseau proposes the people as a sovereign subject, Hardt and Negri present us a non-sovereign subject. In this way, we will try to adapt old categories such as the conception of sovereignty to the changing conditions own of the period which goes from modernity to postmodernity, thus demonstrating that besides the variation of meanings inside the political thought, still remains a significant nucleus.
