What was Nakai's central theory on sovereignty?
My central argument regarding sovereignty, as explored in "A Study on Sovereignty," posits it as the ultimate, indivisible will of the state, a condition sine qua non for any organized political community. It is not simply power, but the rational capacity to establish and uphold a legal order. Sovereignty, from a teleological perspective, is the realization of the state's inherent purpose: to provide a framework for rational human coexistence and development. It is the highest expression of the state's self-determination.
