Features: This book takes the backdrop of economic globalization as its context, starting with an analysis of the fundamental scope of state sovereignty. It employs a combination of legal and political science approaches to systematically discuss the issue of sovereignty in international law and its development trends, including: the theoretical origins of state sovereignty, the relativity of state sovereignty, the limitations of state sovereignty, the principle of state sovereignty equality, territorial sovereignty, permanent sovereignty over natural resources, environmental protection and state sovereignty, international protection of human rights and state sovereignty, the relationship between state sovereignty and self-determination, international intervention, and international organizations, globalization and state sovereignty, international order and state sovereignty, as well as "the responsibility to protect" and state sovereignty. At the end, the author points out that in the foreseeable future, state sovereignty will not come to an end. However, state sovereignty is not a myth; it remains the core of modern international law.
