""The Global Commonwealth of Citizens" is not a book of dreams. It
is a serious, learned, but nevertheless accessible effort to
grapple with some of the most important issues of the twenty-first
century. Is it possible to be cosmopolitans--citizens of a world of
more than six billion people--and to find ways that allow us all to
govern ourselves? The debate that this book engages is "the" debate
of our time. Daniele Archibugi has made an important
contribution."--Anne-Marie Slaughter, dean of the Woodrow Wilson
School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University
"Daniele Archibugi provides a bold and innovative approach to
thinking about democracy within and beyond the borders. At a
stroke, he helps consolidate a new political discourse to meet the
challenges of our global age. Modern political theory has thought
of the political good as limited within the boundaries of
nation-states. Archibugi demonstrates why this no longer works, and
shows how to move on."--David Held, London School of Economics and
Political Science
"This is the first theoretically sophisticated and conceptually
innovative effort to build an overall case for the total
democratization of political life at all levels of human
interaction. This is a truly groundbreaking book that will arouse
widespread interest, commentary, and debate about both the
desirable approach to global governance and the proper relationship
between domestic and foreign policy in liberal
democracies."--Richard A. Falk, author of "The Declining World
Order"
"Substantial and important. Archibugi has written a provocative
book that imagines an alternative political world to the one we
currently inhabit, and he describes anddefends this alternative
with tremendous verve and imagination. He forces us to rethink some
of our assumptions about the possibilities of democracy in a global
society. This is a book from which we can all learn."--Glyn Morgan,
author of "The Idea of a European Superstate"
"Daniele Archibugi is one of the world's leading exponents of
cosmopolitan democracy, and this book admirably consolidates his
own position and provides one of the most systematic and searching
statements in the genre. His arguments are thoroughly researched,
erudite, engaging, accessible, important, and inspiring."--Jan Aart
Scholte, author of "Globalization"
