ABSTRACT

The participation of global civil society in international politics has increased rapidly, and they increasingly play a noticeable role. From the perspective of social existence, in reality, the concept of global civil society refers to a kind of “bottom-up” self-organization, and the actions of people in the era of globalization when the world risk society comes into being. Western scholars have put forward different theoretical views and propositions around the concept of global civil society, the emergence and development of global civil society, and the impact of global civil society on real politics. Although the concept of global civil society has been widely used, its development is far from mature. In this sense, global civil society is a way to make globalization more “taming”, “humanizing”, and “civilizing”. The laws of global civil society categorically deny that the supreme power or sovereign rights of the state can override the sovereign rights of individuals and the public.
