Features: This book takes economic globalization as the backdrop of the times, starting with an analysis of the basic categories of state sovereignty, and employs a combination of legal and political science methods to systematically discuss the issue of sovereignty in international law and its development trends. This includes: the theoretical origins of state sovereignty, the relativity of state sovereignty, the limitations of state sovereignty, the principle of sovereign equality, territorial sovereignty, permanent sovereignty over natural resources, environmental protection and state sovereignty, international protection of human rights and state sovereignty, state sovereignty and the relationship with self-determination, international intervention, and international organizations, globalization and state sovereignty, international order and state sovereignty, and "the responsibility to protect" and state sovereignty, among others. At the end, targeting the nihilist view of state sovereignty in the international community, the author points out that in the foreseeable future, state sovereignty will not end; however, state sovereignty is not a myth, and it remains the core of modern international law.
