gnty has been discussed throughout history, from the time before recorded history through to the present day.[3][4] It has changed in its definition, concept, and application throughout, especially during the Age of Enlightenment. The current notion of state sovereignty contains four aspects consisting of territory, population, authority and recognition.[5] According to Stephen D. Krasner, the term could also be understood in four different ways:
domestic sovereignty – actual control over a state exercised by an authority organized within this state,[6]
interdependence sovereignty – actual control of movement across state's borders, assuming the borders exist,[6]
international legal sovereignty – formal recognition by other sovereign states,[6]
