Abstract

Sovereignty is a polemic concept. This idea is closely related to the idea of the state. It is the period of existence of the final and absolute authority in the political community. Croatian authors cite numerous definitions of sovereignty: a) the highest authority, b) the importance of the authority, c) the essential feature of government, d) the highest, or supreme authority, etc. As holders of sovereignty is usually indicate: a) the monarch (the concept of monarchical sovereignty) b) people (the concept of popular sovereignty), c) the nation (the concept of national sovereignty), d) state (the concept of sovereignty of the state). State sovereignty is completely abandoned in a globalized and pluralistic world order. The Croatian Constitution of 1990, developed the idea of popular sovereignty, national sovereignty and state sovereignty.
