13031. SOVEREIGNTY: CHANGING NORMS IN A NEW WORLD ORDER. This report examines and analyzes the changing conceptions of sovereignty in the post-Cold War world and in the context of the gradual emergence of a new international system. The analysis begins with a definition, overview and history of sovereignty. Included in this section is a discussion of the inherent conflict between sovereignty and self-determination. The remainder of the paper examines more recent and emerging changes to the norms of sovereignty and then attempts to make predictions about the role and shape of sovereignty in the post-Cold War international order. 15p. 42f., 17b.,
