Description for Freedom Beyond Sovereignty
Hardback. What does it mean to be free? The author shows that individual agency is best conceived as a non-sovereign experience because our ability to act and affect the world depends on how other people interpret and respond to what we do.

Reviews for Freedom Beyond Sovereignty
"Krause remaps the very concept of freedom, which she persuasively argues is a concept that can't be reduced to any one of the familiar models. Freedom Beyond Sovereignty is thoughtful, well-written, well-argued, and engaging, its argument clear and compelling." (Clarissa Rile Hayward, Washington University in St. Louis)
