The paper offers a reinterpretation of sovereignty and theorizes the international alongside anarchist lines. It draws from P.J. Proudhon’s relational ontology and suggests to conceive the international as an assemblage of emergent biopolitical polities: porous sovereignties. The paper’s underlying aim is to intervene into the agonistic political project. While two fundamental pillars of this project remain intact - the ontological status of power and the coarticulation of individual and republican liberty - hegemony is problematized by arguing that agonistic perspectives of order can be envisaged devoid of hegemonic struggles. Alongside the ideal model of porous sovereignties the paper argues that sovereignty entails the potential of intertwining collective forces and reasons to initiate moments of quasi-stasis or inertia on the plane of immanence. Eventually the paper contributes to the formulation of an anarchist informed global ethics that moves beyond the agonistic pluriverse which fails to grasp the ontological reality of anarchy.
