ABSTRACT

The global system consists of sovereign state actors, super-state or cross-state actors, and sub-state actors, presenting a system feature of multi-layer composite structure. The formation of the ideal global order in the global system requires us to promote the democratization process of the global system. To analyze the connotations of the global system, it is necessary to start with the concept of “system” and “international system” in order to fully understand the concept of the term “global system”. If the international system is a concept used to describe the relationship structure between sovereign states, the connotations of the concept of “global system” should point to the structure that transcends the relationship between countries. The world system emphasizes the different positions and interactions of all social strata, countries, and regions in the global capitalist economy, and the global system focuses on the interaction of state, super-state, and sub-state actors in the system.
