Features: This book takes economic globalization as the backdrop of the times and begins with an analysis of the basic categories 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 sovereign 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 of nations and international interference, as well as the relationship between globalization and state sovereignty, international order and state sovereignty, and "the responsibility to protect" and state sovereignty, among others. 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.
