Features: In the context of globalization, should international law be committed to promoting the institutionalization of democratic politics? If so, how should we selectively apply the concept of democracy, which is inherently ambiguous itself? On this topic, the author adopts a critical perspective to conduct a fascinating tour of various mainstream theories and proposals in the current field of international law, represented by "democratic norm theory," and presents his own insights. The book features clear and fluent writing, directly addresses the core issues of contemporary international law, and skillfully blends the pursuit of democracy with reflections and elaborations on international law, offering a response to this eternal constitutional mystery.
