Democracy is the most potent political idea in the world today, yet
the future of democracy is increasingly uncertain. Key assumptions
of democratic thinking and practice are being undermined by diverse
sites of social economic power on the one hand, and by dense
networks of regional and global interconnectedness on the other.
States and societies are enmeshed in webs of international
conditions and processes as never before. Democracy and the Global
Order offers a highly original and systematic account of these
issues. Part I assesses the traditional conceptions of democracy.
Part II traces the rise and displacement of the modern nation-state
in the context of the interstate system and the world economy. Part
III explores the theoretical bases of democracy and of the
democratic state, and the profound changes these concepts must
undergo if they are to retain their relevance in the century ahead.
Finally. Part IV champions a "cosmopolitan" model of democracy-a
new conception of democracy for a new world order.
