While it might immediately seem that citizens desire a stronger state, the cases of compromised, contested, or failed sovereignty in this volume point instead to political imaginations beyond the state form. Examples from Spain to Afghanistan and from Western Sahara to Taiwan show how calls to take back control or to bring back order are best understood as longings for sovereign agency. By paying close ethnographic attention to these desires and their consequences, \u003ci\u003eThe Everyday Lives of Sovereignty\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new way to understand why these yearnings have such profound political resonance in a globally interconnected world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors: Panos Achniotis, Jens Bartelson, Joyce Dalsheim, Dace Dzenovska, Sara L.
