Abstract

The tension between the authority of states and the authority of international institutions is a persistent feature of international relations. Legitimacy assessments of international institutions play a crucial role in resolving such tensions. If an international institution exercises legitimate authority, it creates binding obligations for states. According to Raz’s well-known service conception, legitimate authority depends on the reasons for actions of those who are subject to it. Yet what are the practical reasons that should guide the actions of states? Can states be bound by international institutions on all kinds of issues or are certain issues exempted because of sovereignty considerations? This paper argues that self-regarding reasons cannot ground political authority with the respective demand for compliance. Since reasons for states concern individuals both inside and outside of their jurisdiction and other state peoples, self-regarding reasons for states, which form a domain of personal pursuits or sovereign decisions, are highly restricted.
你无权对我指手画脚!各国为什么要遵守国际机构?
国家权威和国际机构权威之间的紧张关系是国际关系的一个持久特征。对国际机构的合法性评估在解决这种紧张局势方面发挥着至关重要的作用。如果一个国际机构行使合法权力,它就为各国规定了具有约束力的义务。根据拉兹著名的服务理念,合法权力取决于受其约束的人的行动理由。然而,指导国家行动的实际理由是什么?国家能否在各种问题上受到国际机构的约束,或者某些问题是否因主权考虑而被豁免?本文认为,自我考虑的原因不能将政治权威与各自的合规要求联系起来。由于国家的理由涉及其管辖范围内外的个人和其他国家人民,国家的自我考虑理由构成了个人追求或主权决定的领域,因此受到高度限制。
