This review ofNon-State Actors in International Law, edited by Math Noortmann, August Reinisch and Cedric Ryngaert (Hart Publishing, 2015), focuses on the constraints of state-centric approaches in accurately depicting the role and status of non-state actors in the international arena. As the book presents a comprehensive examination of the influence of diverse entities in a variety of fields, such limitations are evidenced and inevitably lead to the reassessment of novel theoretical standpoints, as well as to the recognition that a multidisciplinary approach is much needed in order to advance further studies on the issue.

挑战以国家为中心的方法的理论约束：国际法中的非国家行为者回顾

本次审查国际法中的非国家行为者由 Math Noortmann、August Reinisch 和 Cedric Ryngaert 编辑（Hart Publishing，2015 年），重点关注以国家为中心的方法在准确描述非国家行为者在国际舞台上的角色和地位方面的限制。由于本书全面考察了不同实体在各个领域的影响，这些局限性得到了证实，并不可避免地导致重新评估新的理论立场，并认识到非常需要多学科的方法来实现推进对该问题的进一步研究。
