The scale, effectiveness and legitimacy of global governance lag
far behind the world's needs. This path-breaking book examines how
far civil society involvement provides an answer to these problems.
Does civil society make global governance more democratic? Have
citizen action groups raised the accountability of global bodies
that deal with challenges such as climate change, financial crises,
conflict, disease and inequality? What circumstances have promoted
(or blocked) civil society efforts to make global governance
institutions more democratically accountable? What could improve
these outcomes in the future? The authors base their argument on
studies of thirteen global institutions, including the UN, G8, WTO,
ICANN and IMF. Specialists from around the world critically assess
what has and has not worked in efforts to make global bodies answer
to publics as well as states. Combining intellectual depth and
political relevance, Building Global Democracy? will appeal to
students, researchers, activists and policymakers.
