“…The growth of sociology in China can be traced back, for example, to an early Department of Sociology, established by the National Central University in 1928, which evolved into the Nanjing University Department. 6 With the success of the Maoist Revolution, however, the truth of 'Marxism-Leninism' as the official 'science' raised questions about the actual need for sociology, which was defined-and largely rejected-as a 'bourgeois science'.…”

“…91 That difficulty has been enhanced by the development of realist and utilitarian approaches to statehood from the nineteenth century onwards and the progressive reduction of statehood to a set of governmental coercive functions therein. 92 In turn, this has paved the way for the predominantly functionalist approach to IOs that emerged in the twentieth century. That approach has since then been applied in return to States themselves by the IOs they have become member of.…”

International law's legitimacy has come under serious attack lately, including, and maybe even more so, in regimes considered democratic. Reading Dworkin's New Philosophy for International Law in the current context is a timely reminder of the centrality of the political legitimacy of international law. Interestingly, indeed, his account does not succumb to the (however progressive) cosmopolitan ideal of an international political community. Nor is it reducible to a concern for domestic justice in which political legitimacy is only self-regarding. By revisiting seventeenth century international legal theories, Dworkin sends both cosmopolitans and statists back-to-back. He (re-)discovers a third way in which to conceive of statehood today: not on its own, but in a mirror-image fashion and against the background of the international institutional order without which there would be no equal sovereign States, but no individual equality either. Carrying Dworkin's argument forward, this article identifies and discusses three of its crucial contributions with respect to the objects, subjects and institutions of international legitimacy that deserve further attention. It concludes with different proposals regarding the design and organization of other international institutions than States, both public and private, by reference to their relationship to States (and their people). According to Dworkin, this should enable us to improve not only the legitimacy of the international institutional order as whole, but also the political legitimacy of each State therein since both are mutually related.

“…This short street is a gateway into the city's red light district, the birthplace of coffeeshops. 7 These little establishments are a big deal, having sown the seeds for drug policy reform in Portugal, Australia, the United States, Uruguay, Canada and beyond. 8 About half way down Damstraat, I noticed Coffeeshop Paradise on my right.…”

“…6 The former refers to illicit substances deemed to have an unacceptable health risk (for example, cocaine or heroin), whereas the latter includes drugs considered to be less harmful, such as cannabis. 7 These categories inform harm reduction: doing less about one problem to avoid causing worse problems. 8 The rationale of allowing coffeeshops is to 'protect cannabis users … from exposure to hard drugs and the criminal elements who traffic in them'.…”
