Subjects: INTERNATIONAL LAW

This book is the first one which systematically and comprehensively elaborates soft law. It mainly discusses two aspects of soft law research. First is to construct a soft law theoretical system which aims at interpreting soft law governance phenomena, including such basic content as what soft law is and its function, the relationship between soft and hard law, the ambit of soft law, and its operational mechanism. Second is to resolve the issue of "soft law is also law (in a legal regime)", and expand the realm of law through reflecting on and rectifying the traditional definition of the concept of "law" and include soft law within its scope. This would form a mixed legal mode where soft law and hard law complement one another and each operates with its own respective strength.
