Democracy and the Global Order: From the Modern State to Cosmopolitan Governance (Stanford Univ Pr)

"A magisterial account of democratic theory as it applies to our world of intensifying global relations and transnational networks.... I regard this book as indispensable reading for scholars and citizens alike--a comprehensive rethinking and remapping of the terrain of democracy."--Richard Falk, Princeton University "A timely exhortation that we need to continually reassess where our thinking (or lack of thinking) has taken us and where we are likely to go as a world society if we are not vigilant! An important book for philosophers, scientists, business leaders, politicians, in short, anyone who is concerned about the fate of mankind if it is left at the mercy of a simplistic world view."--Northeastern Naturalist
