It is often assumed that democracy is both desirable and possible
in global politics. Interrogating Democracy in World Politics
provides an important counter-argument to this assumption by
questioning the history, meaning and concepts of democracy in
contemporary international and global politics. Combining
viewpoints from the fields of international relations, political
theory and history, the book includes: * Critical examinations of
the concept of democracy as a political order and ethical ideal *
Assessment of the role and function of democracy in how
contemporary political events are understood and evaluated *
Analysis of the relationship of democracy to international
stability, liberalism and the emergence of capitalist economies The
book focuses on the move from the concept of international
politics' to world politics', recognising the equal importance of
understanding democratic interaction both within and between
states. It reviews current scholarly thinking in the field before
providing a complex theoretical re-engagement with the meaning of
democracy in contemporary world politics. Interrogating Democracy
in World Politics will be of interest to students and scholars of
politics and international relations, democratization studies and
globalization.
