Abstract: The aim of our paper is to emphasize that an abstract and rigid concept, such as sovereignty, must be understood in conjunction with the transformations of society as a whole, in the context of globalization, international cooperation and the achievement of common goals set by various intergovernmental organizations. non-governmental. An outdated and limited concept must be adapted and accepted in appropriate forms, so as to capture the realities of a constantly evolving world of the meanings of the notions and principles with which it operates. At the same time, we set out to capture the essential aspects of the evolution of the concept of sovereignty, from the socio-political mechanism through which it was formed to the innovative meaning it has today, trying to predict how foreshadows that it will be used in the future. Keywords: sovereignty, European Union, integration, independence, public international law
Introduction This paper aims to capture the essential aspects of the evolution of the concept of sovereignty, from the socio-political mechanism through which it was formed to the innovative meaning it has today, trying to predict the way in which it is foreshadowed that will be used in the future. Although it is a central concept of both international relations and domestic public policy, sovereignty adapts its meaning, like most fundamental notions, to the realities, context and expectations that society presupposes. We will begin by focusing on terminological clarifications in order to capture the need and the way in which the concept of sovereignty was constructed, both historically and doctrinally. In order to present the revolutionary way in which the concept of sovereignty is understood in the European Union, a community building of European states, we will expose the original meaning conferred by Westphalian sovereignty and arrive at the inevitable erosion of the concept of sovereignty as agreed with the integration. European Union and the return to classical and radical forms: Brexit, the ruling of the Constitutional Court of Poland and the huge scandal it generated, the direction in which Hungary is heading as foreshadowed in the statements of Prime Minister Viktor Orban. And although she is not a member of the European Union, we now mention the case of Ukraine, which Vladimir Putin said in 2021 on the official website of kremlin.ru that he understands that Ukraine's sovereignty can only exist in partnership with Russia.
