ABSTRACT

The rise of modernity has promoted the emergence of the modern international order ideologically and technically. However, with the rise of globality, the question of how to shape a valuable global order which is normative in goal and feasible in practice, in order to differentiate the international order which expresses modernity from another, has become a hot topic in global research. The Middle Ages are considered to be an era in which power and authority existed at various overlapping levels, and neo-medievalism is now widely explored as a possible model of a global order. When describing the current macro-social order of human life, the concepts that constantly appear include international order, world order, and global order. In addition, the “Third Way” represented by Anthony Giddens also puts forward a similar view on global order, which argues that the foundation of the global order is the world democracy and global governance guaranteed by institutions.
