Features: This book examines the challenges posed by economic globalization and global issues to the law, employing an academic methodology that unifies history and logic as well as economics and law. It analyzes a series of paradigm conflicts that arise in the process of globalization from the perspective of legal theory, such as the contradictions between domestic law and international law, modern law and postmodern law, the center and periphery of the global legal system, and the tensions between globalized and localized models of legal implementation. The book addresses questions such as whether "legal globalization" is possible, under what conditions it might be possible, and what kind of global legal civilization system and order prospects humanity may face. Additionally, it explores from a practical standpoint the opportunities and challenges China's legal system faces after joining the WTO, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and its comprehensive engagement in world political, economic, and cultural affairs, proposing relatively specific legal responses.
