About this Quote

This quote by Zbigniew Brzezinski suggests that the idea of sovereignty is usually utilized yet has no concrete meaning. He implies that in the modern-day globe, sovereignty is even more of a symbolic title than an actual power. He suggests that numerous nations that are considered sovereign are just nominally and also fairly so. This indicates that although they may have the title of sovereignty, they do not have the full power and also authority that comes with it. This could be as a result of the impact of various other countries or organizations, or due to the absence of sources and also capacities of the country itself. Brzezinski's quote highlights the importance of comprehending the principle of sovereignty and its ramifications in the contemporary globe.
