�本文试图回答一个具体和普遍的问题：我们应该如何评估世界大坝委员会在民主合法性方面的表现？对欧盟委员会表现的评估，从更广泛的角度告诉我们，全球规则制定的合法性是什么？基于这些问题，本文得出了两个主要结论。首先(根据其包容性、透明度和问责制来衡量)，世界大坝委员会标准制定过程的民主合法性可以通过几种方式受到挑战。其次，相对于其他规则制定机制，在确定该委员会的合法性方面存在困难，这表明我们在理论上仍然缺乏对超越民族国家的民主治理理念在实践中的含义的理解。更好地理解世界政治的这一规范性方面仍将是当代政治理论的一项主要任务。关键词：全球治理、世界大坝委员会、规则制定、民主、问责。
�This article attempts to provide answers to one specific and one general question: How should we evaluate the performance of the World Commission on Dams in terms of its democratic legitimacy? And what does the evaluation of the commission’s performance tell us about the legitimacy of global rule making in more general terms? Based on these questions, the article comes to two main conclusions. First (measured in terms of its inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability), the democratic legitimacy of the World Commission on Dams’ standardsetting process can be challenged in several ways. Second, the difficulties in determining the commission’s legitimacy in relation to other mechanisms of rule making demonstrate that we still lack a theoretical understanding of what the idea of democratic governance beyond the nation-state would entail in practice. Achieving a better understanding of this normative aspect of world politics will remain a major task for contemporary political theory. KEYWORDS: global governance, World Commission on Dams, rule making, democracy, accountability.
