Can the power of the G20 be legitimate? This book examines the
politics surrounding the G20's efforts to act effectively and
legitimately and the problems and challenges involved in this
activity. Developing a critical constructivist conceptualisation of
the G20, the book considers holistically and practically the ways
that the G20 develops various forms of power and influence and acts
as an apex form of global governance that seeks to be an overall
coordinating forum to address global problems. Assessing how
debates about the legitimacy of the G20 shaped its operation,
Slaughter argues that the G20's power can be legitimate despite a
range of considerable challenges and limits. The book also explores
what measures the G20 could take to be more legitimate in the
future. Offering a direct and accessible consideration of the
politics of legitimacy with respect to the G20, this book will be
of interest to those attempting to understand and analyse the G20
as well as to scholars of IR theory, global political economy,
global policy, diplomacy and globalisation.
This wide-ranging volume explores the impact of globalization upon
citizenship, with a special focus on the transnational challenges
that globalization poses. While there is much debate over the
concept, globalization implies at least two distinct phenomena.
First, it suggests that political, economic and social activities
are becoming increasingly inter-regional or intercontinental in
scope. Secondly, it suggests that there has been an intensification
of levels of interaction and interconnectedness between states and
societies. Citizenship, as one of the foundational concepts of the
modern liberal democratic states, provides the normative framework
within which globalization debates may be understood and evaluated.
It also examines how different concepts, theories and practices of
citizenship are evolving in response to globalization. Central
questions explored in this text are: * How does globalization
challenge traditional conceptions of citizenship in specific
respects? * How is globalization creating new citizenships or new
civil society spaces? * How is transnational citizenship developing
and what problems are associated with it in specific areas?
Discussing the theoretical and practical prospects for new forms of
liberal, republican and cosmopolitan citizenship, Globalisation and
Citizenship will appeal to students and scholars in the fields of
international relations, globalization, sociology and political
science.
