Abstract

Sovereignty is one of the most appreciated attributes of a political system. However, there are certain issues to which political thinkers share competing views: the original presenters of the concept of sovereignty, how the concept of sovereignty evolved, how a sovereign represents the will of people, and what are the common and differentiating features of sovereignty between the western and the Islamic political thinkers.
