The prospects of global governance depend on reaffirming the
separation of private morals and public interests against the
allures of all fundamentalisms. This path-breaking book expounds
the idea of a disenchanted world composed of nation states and
global functional systems. The nation state is losing some of its
regulatory prerogatives and, at the same time, extending its
legitimacy base in 'chains of legitimacy' to transnational
institutions. There is neither a global democracy nor a global
government. Therefore, establishing alternative forms of
legitimacy, accountability and participation in a secular world
seem mandatory. Helmut Willke examines the resurgence of moral
reasoning in global affairs, driven by various fundamentalisms,
that indicates a real danger of a regression of democracy. The
separation of private morals and public policies, this book argues,
remains the basis of global aspirations of democracy. Governance in
a Disenchanted World takes into account globalization as a
precondition for modern forms of governance and uses the global
financial crisis to demonstrate the delusions of public morality
and the virtues of democratic resilience. Researchers, lecturers
and postgraduate students in the fields of political science,
governance theory, global governance, sociological theory,
political philosophy, legal studies, and global finance will find
this essential book an invaluable resource.
