There is no waffling really to it.
Here is a snippet from Kobrin, sophistically waffling:
'In his retrospective review of Sovereignty at Bay ten years after its publication, Vernon
(1981, p 517 ) expresses concern that readers remember the title of the book rather than its
message; that he is unfairly associated with the argument that the nation state is ‘… done for,
finished off by the multinational enterprise.’ However, both the title and the opening lines of the
book, which argue that concepts such as sovereignty seem ‘curiously drained of meaning,’
appear unambiguous. The apparent contradiction between these two statements is resolved when
one pays closer attention to what Vernon actually means by ‘sovereignty.’ In Sovereignty at
Bay, (and his other writing) he is concerned with autonomy and control, with the problems posed
by overlapping and intertwining jurisdictions rather than formal or legal sovereignty....'
