The chapters in this volume deal with timely issues regarding
democracy in theory and in practice in today's globalized world.
Authored by leading political philosophers of our time, they appear
here for the first time. The essays challenge and defend
assumptions about the role of democracy as a viable political and
legal institution in response to globalization, keeping in focus
the role of rights at the normative foundations of democracy in a
pluralistic world. Through an examination of key topics of current
relevance, with contrasting views of the leading theorists, the
chapters address the most relevant theories and forms of
globalization, traditional democratic paradigms and their limits,
public deliberation and democratic participation, the moral hazards
of imperial democracy, and the future of liberal democracy. In
addition to suggesting new perspectives on democracy, they use the
current debate on justice, human rights, sovereignty, and cultural
relativism to shed light on enduring questions about politics,
culture, and global development. This timely and provocative
collection will be of interest to anyone concerned with democracy,
human rights, global justice, economic development, poverty,
international law, peace, and various aspects of globalization.
