In the 21st century, as the peoples of the world grow more closely
tied together, the question of real transnational government will
finally have to be faced. The end of the Cold War has not brought
the peace, freedom from atrocities, and decline of tyranny for
which we hoped. It is also clearer now that problems like economic
risks, tax havens, and environmental degradation arising with
global markets are far outstripping the governance capacities of
our 20th century system of distinct nation-states, even when they
try to work together through intergovernmental agreements and
organized bureaucracies of specialists. This work defends a
cosmopolitan approach to global justice by arguing for new ways to
combine the strengths of democratic nations in order to prevent
mass atrocities and to secure other global public goods (GPGs).
While protecting cultural pluralism, Davenport argues that a
Democratic League would provide a legal order capable of uniting
the strength and inspiring moral vision of democratic nations to
improve international security, stop mass atrocities, assist
developing nations in overcoming corruption and poverty, and, in
time, potentially address other global challenges in finance,
environmental sustainability, stable food supplies, immigration,
and so on. This work will be of great interest to students and
scholars of international relations, international organizations,
philosophy and global justice.
