This paper argues that national development projects and policies require an existing notion of the 'global community.' The author uses the case of China to demonstrate how sovereignty is challenged by economic, legal, political and cultural globalization. The paper examines the institutional and affective mechanisms that allow individuals to transcend allegiances to the nation-state, in order to access transnational civil society. It concludes that the changing concept of sovereignty has changed and reduced political power in China.
