Abstract: Norm is one of the main focuses of Constructivist International Relations. Constructivism mainly pays attention to the process of norm spread, internalization and localization and considers that norms have shaped the identities and interests of actors. In contemporary international relations, state sovereignty and international intervention can be regarded as a pair of symbiotic norms, because they exist interdependently. The changing understanding of state sovereignty also promotes the development of international intervention, especially the emergence of the concept of “responsibility to protect”. Meanwhile, the existence of norms is based on legitimacy, which means that they must be accepted universally by the international community. This paper thus analyses the relationship between state sovereignty and international intervention, and argues that intervention still needs to be carried out in the framework of sovereignty.
