Liquid sovereignty describes the flexible and dynamic nature of sovereignty in the contemporary world, where state authority is increasingly diffused across borders through globalization, supranational institutions, and transnational networks. It challenges the traditional, fixed notion of sovereignty tied strictly to territorial control, emphasizing instead how power and governance flow and adapt in complex global systems.
