The concept ofsovereignty arose with the appearance ofthe modern state. It has survived because the state has survived as the seemingly necessary basis for political order. The persistence of cultural and ethnic nationalism and international anarchy has given the state a new lease on life. Countertendencies, including a reaction against the monarchical absolutism associated with sovereignty, have given rise to federal systems offering a flexible, if less certain, combination of government on a large scale with relative autonomy on a smaller, local scale. Given modern realities promoting interdependence and making autarky both difficult to sustain and a threat to the rights of minorities, it may be better to settle for the more or less offederalism and autonomy than the either/or of the state and sovereignty
