Abstract The source or basis of the force of international law or legitimacy of international law is a basic issue in international jurisprudence and the heart of controversy among scholars pro and con international law. In the development of the discipline of international law, this issue has been extensively discussed along various academic paths. In the background of globalization, the demonstration on the “legitimacy” of international institutions by the school of international institution in the field of international relations, including the “source of legitimacy”, the acquisition of legitimacy or legalization, and even the “legitimationskrise”, sheds helpful light on further study of the “legitimacy” of international law.
