Seeking to extend the debate on the diversity of democracy, this
book provides the reader with a comprehensive account of how two
different global actors, the European Union and the World Social
Forum respond to the challenges of globalization with various
models of democracy and modes of cooperation at the transnational
level. Analysing EU democracy assistance in the EU's neighbourhood,
Fiedlschuster sheds light on the complex relationship between the
EU and civil society. Although the EU perceives a vital civil
society as crucial for democracy, its mix of a governance approach
with deliberative and participatory democracy will unlikely result
in a citizen-centred democracy. The book also provides a compelling
account of the World Social Forum and its participants interviewed
for this work attempt to answer one of the challenges of
contemporary globalization: How can civil society pursue
democratically global social change? Fiedlschuster skilfully
deploys various sociological approaches not only to analyse
concepts and practices of democracy by transnational activists but
also to throw light on the tensions between democratic idealism and
anti-democratic tendencies in the Forum. This book will be of wide
interest to students and academics, including those working within
political sociology, European Union politics, and globalization.
