Many international relations scholars argue that private authority
and private actors are playing increasingly prominent roles in
global governance. This book focuses on the other side of the
equation: the transformation of the public dimension of governance
in the era of globalization. It analyses that transformation,
advancing two major claims: first, that the public is beginning to
play a more significant role in global governance, and, second,
that it takes a rather different form than has traditionally been
understood in international relations theory. The authors suggest
that unless we transcend conventional wisdom about the public as a
distinct sphere, separate from the private domain, we cannot
understand the dynamics and consequences of its apparent return.
Using examples drawn from international political economy,
international security and environmental governance, they argue
that 'the public' should be conceptualized as a collection of
culturally-specific social practices.
