This article discusses the puzzle of sovereign statehood in the context of state failure and anarchy in Sub-Saharan Africa.
In the first section it suggests to analyse sovereignty as a discursive fact in terms of a Wittgensteinian language game.
This renders recognition a pivotal element and rejects foundationalist notions of sovereignty. The second section analyses
the ‘quasi-statehood narrative’. Whereas this narrative presents sovereignty as a game, it applies two different notions of
games concomitantly. This article argues that the notion of quasi-statehood maintains an empirical kernel as the core of ‘real’
sovereign statehood and as such remains within the conventional sovereignty discourse. The epilogue states that such foundationalism
is not an innocent analytical move. It shows how language can have far-reaching political impact in terms of legitimation
of political actions, and how, ultimately, the conventional discourse drains international relations of its content. This
will be illustrated by U.S. position to state failure in their War on Terrorism. 相似文献
