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 itself, which is fraught with ambiguities? Around this theme, the author adopts a critical perspective to conduct a brilliant tour of various mainstream theories and proposals in the current field of international law, represented by the "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 the reflection and elaboration of international law, offering a response to this eternal constitutional mystery.
