Reimagining Global Constitutionalism: Can a Transformative Constitution Better The International Legal Order

导言全球宪政是一种治理理论，其中国际体系由法治、三权分立、人权、司法保障和民主合法性等核心准则组成。它规范和监督全球秩序中的关系、来源和权力的行使。越来越多的学者主张全球宪政，声称管理国家间关系的宪法原则(Peter，2015：1)；将增加问责和“对国家权力的制约”，(O‘Donoghue，2013：1045)。落实道德感和秩序感的国际法律发展、绝对法、人权公约和倡导国家责任的司法裁决推动了这一理论的发展。尽管全球宪法现在有助于规范国际实践和行为(Lang和Wiener，2017：1)，但其理论的贫乏是显而易见的。本文认为，这些缺陷产生于当前全球秩序及其核心宪法规范的新帝国主义背景和特征。自由派宪法授权违反国际法和条约，并为实现随后的正义设置了结构性障碍。此外，它坚持全球北方和全球南方之间的等级制度具有战略和意识形态意义(Sultany，2017：306)。

Introduction Global Constitutionalism is a governance theory in which the international system comprises core norms including the rule of law, separation of powers, human rights, judicial safeguards, and democratic legitimacy. It regulates and monitors the relations, sources, and exercise of power within the global order. Increasingly scholars have argued for global constitutionalism, claiming that constitutional principles governing relations between nations (Peter, 2015: 1); would increase accountability and the "check on state power," (O'Donoghue, 2013:1045). International legal developments that implement a sense of morality and order; jus cogens, human rights conventions and judicial decisions advocating for state responsibility, have advanced the theory. Although a global constitution now contributes to ordering international practices and behaviours (Lang and Wiener, 2017:1), the poverty of its theory is evident. This thesis sets out the argument that these shortcomings emerge from the neo imperialist background and features of the current global order and its core constitutional norms. The liberal constitution authorises violations of international laws and treaties, and places structural barriers to achieving subsequent justice. Further, it is strategic and ideological in its perseveration of the hierarchy between the Global North and the Global South (Sultany, 2017:306).
