"Losing Control? Sovereignty in an Age of Globalization" is a book by Saskia Sassen. Published in 1996, it addresses the impact of globalization on traditional notions of sovereignty, particularly in the context of economic and political changes.

In the book, Sassen, a sociologist and globalization scholar, examines how globalization processes challenge the sovereignty of nation-states and reshape power dynamics at local, national, and global levels. She argues that while globalization facilitates the flow of capital, information, and people across borders, it also undermines the ability of states to control and regulate these flows effectively.

Sassen explores various dimensions of sovereignty, including territorial control, legal authority, and political legitimacy, and analyzes how these are being reconfigured in the face of global economic integration and transnational networks of power. She discusses the rise of new actors and institutions in global governance, such as multinational corporations, international organizations, and non-state actors, and their impact on state sovereignty.

Through case studies and empirical analysis, Sassen highlights the complex interplay between globalization and sovereignty and challenges conventional understandings of state power and authority in the contemporary world. The book has been influential in shaping debates on globalization, governance, and the role of states in the 21st century.
