Abstract: There are different forms of global governance; in addition to the rulebased model of governance, there is also a principlebased model of governance. This paper proposes a research agenda for “principled governance” focusing on the oftenoverlooked dimension of principlebased governance in global governance. Principles are defined as a series of consensuses formed by actors regarding appropriate conduct and developed through the exploration of established practices or patterns. These consensuses, grounded in considerations of common interests and the pursuit of normative values, encompass elements such as customs, conventions, knowledge, values, and interests. In contrast, principled governance primarily adheres to the logic of appropriateness, integrating three theoretical perspectives: international practices, knowledge creation, and power dynamics. This approach facilitates the connection between major social science paradigms like rationalism and constructivism. As an emerging theoretical issue in global governance research, studies of principled governance still require substantial development, particularly in the following areas: establishing a framework of global governance principles, investigating the mechanisms behind principle formation and evolution, advancing theories of changes in global governance mechanisms, and exploring the development of principles and global governance.

Key words: global governance, principled governance, system of principles, governance consensus

摘要： 全球治理存在多种形态，在以规则为基础的治理模式之外，还存在以原则为基础的治理模式。作者提出了一个“有原则的治理”的研究议程，聚焦全球治理中经常被忽视的原则治理层面。原则是行为体出于对惯例或者规律的探索，依据共同利益考量与规范价值追求，对于适当行为所形成的包含习惯、惯例、知识、价值、利益等元素的一系列共识。而有原则的治理更多遵循适当性逻辑，涵盖了国际惯例、知识创造与权力推动三种理论视角，有助于衔接理性主义、建构主义等社会科学范式。作为一个新兴的全球治理理论议题，有原则的治理在研究层面仍然有待于进一步发展，尤其是全球治理原则体系构建、原则产生与发展机制研究、全球治理机制变迁理论、原则与全球治理的发展等问题仍需要深入研究。
