Is global democracy possible? This stimulating new study tackles
this key question with originality and rigour. The most prominent
institutional manifestations of this new concept - the UN, WTO,
IMF, and World Bank - have been portrayed as cloistered
anti-democratic institutions by anti-globalization activists, while
proponents of globalization advocate reforming these institutions
to make them more transparent. Michael Goodhart argues that both
views fail to recognize the complex link between modern democracy
and the sovereign state and the degree to which globalization
challenges the modern conceptualization of democracy. Original and
historically informed, Democracy as Human Rights delivers a
carefully argued theory of a democracy in which traditional
representative government is supported by global institutions
designed to guarantee fundamental human rights. This is essential
reading for all students and scholars of politics, international
relations and of human rights in particular.
