Abstract
This lecture will provide an introduction to Smith's monograph project on the locus and attributes of sovereignty and the peace conference that sought to close down the Great War. Smith begins at the conceptual level, but explaining sovereignty as a category of analysis. He then endeavors to show what a focus of sovereignty adds to an understanding of the historically specific international system that created the Paris Peace Conference and was created by it.
