The practice of the international rule of law needs a theoretical guide, and the formulation of the theory of international law has to depend upon practice, which imposes new requirement upon the methodology of international law. Traditional research into legal doctrine is unfavorable to the creative exertion of international jurisprudence, and the research methods of social sciences are playing an increasingly important role in the methodological innovation of international law. From the perspective of promotion of the international rule of law, the study of international law needs to deep research a State’s motives, cause and innate logic in observing international aw, and law and economics can show its capability in this field. For the international rule of law, basic research needs to be carried about such social surroundings as where the rules are produced and applied and exerting influences. The research method of the sociology of law exactly hits the point. The application of empirical and experimental research methods offers a beforehand “rehearsal” chance for the process of the rule of law to grasp the pros and cons in the planning and practice of the rule of law. The cooperation between the research methods of social science and the traditional research method of international law can reasonably interpret the phenomena of international relations and promote the international rule of law.

国际法治与方法创新

国际法治的实践需要理论指导，国际法理论的形成必须依靠实践，这对国际法的方法提出了新的要求。传统的法律学说研究不利于国际法学的创造性发挥，社会科学的研究方法在国际法的方法创新中起着越来越重要的作用。从促进国际法治的角度出发，对国际法的研究需要深入研究一个国家在观察国际aw的动机，原因和内在逻辑，法律和经济学才能展示其在这一领域的能力。对于国际法治，需要对规则产生，应用和影响的社会环境进行基础研究。法律社会学的研究方法正是这一点。实证和实验研究方法的应用为法治过程提供了预先的“排练”机会，以把握法治的规划和实践中的利弊。社会科学的研究方法与国际法的传统研究方法之间的合作可以合理地解释国际关系现象，并促进国际法治。实证和实验研究方法的应用为法治过程提供了预先的“排练”机会，以把握法治的规划和实践中的利弊。社会科学的研究方法与国际法的传统研究方法之间的合作可以合理地解释国际关系现象，并促进国际法治。实证和实验研究方法的应用为法治过程提供了预先的“排练”机会，以把握法治的规划和实践中的利弊。社会科学的研究方法与国际法的传统研究方法之间的合作可以合理地解释国际关系现象，并促进国际法治。
