Features: This book is part of the "Eastern Translation Series" of new releases in 2003. Traditional democratic theory typically focuses on the study of democratic order and forms of government within a single country, as well as the challenges to democracy that arise within that country. However, against the backdrop of accelerating globalization, traditional democratic theory is gradually losing its explanatory power. The author of this book breaks the isolation between the study of political theory, international relations, and international law, linking the three currently most popular terms—democracy, globalization, and governance—together. It offers new reflections on the essence, forms, and content of democratic politics. In the four parts of the book, the author examines the nature and meaning of democracy, the forms, characteristics, and development of the state, and reconstructs core concepts of political theory in the context of globalization, ultimately proposing a model of a "worldwide democratic regime" in the era of globalization. The author is an authoritative figure in democratic theory within the field of political science, and their works are recognized for their solid theoretical foundation and rigorous logical arguments, earning acclaim from scholars in the field.
