Contents:

States of confusion : democracy in an age of globalization -- Sovereignty and the modern configuration of rule -- Sovereign democracy -- Globalization and the paradox of sovereign democracy -- The limits of modern democracy -- The emancipatory tradition of democratic theory -- Democracy as human rights -- Institutionalizing democracy as human rights -- Implementing democracy as human rights -- Conclusion : globalization, neoliberalism, and democratization.

Summary: Is global democracy possible? The most prominent institutional manifestations of this concept-the UN, WTO, IMF and World Bank-have been skewered as cloistered anti-democratic institutions by anti-globalization activists. Meanwhile, 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, Democra.
