The Global Commonwealth of Citizens critically examines the
prospects for cosmopolitan democracy as a viable and humane
response to the challenges of globalization. Arising after the
collapse of the Soviet Union and the decisive affirmation of
Western-style democracy, cosmopolitan democracy envisions a world
politics in which democratic participation by citizens is not
constrained by national borders, and where democracy spreads
through dialogue and incentives, not coercion and war. This is an
incisive and thought-provoking book by one of the world's leading
proponents of cosmopolitan democracy. Daniele Archibugi looks at
all aspects of cosmopolitan democracy in theory and practice. Is
democracy beyond nation-states feasible? Is it possible to inform
global governance with democratic norms and values, and if so, how?
Archibugi carefully answers questions like these and forcefully
responds to skeptics and critics. He argues that democracy can be
extended to the global political arena by strengthening and
reforming existing international organizations and creating new
ones, and he calls for dramatic changes in the foreign policies of
nations to make them compatible with global public interests.
Archibugi advocates giving voice to new global players such as
social movements, cultural communities, and minorities. He proposes
building institutional channels across borders to address common
problems, and encourages democratic governance at the local,
national, regional, and global levels. The Global Commonwealth of
Citizens is an accessible introduction to the subject that will be
of interest to students and scholars in political science,
international relations, international law, and human rights.
