Re-Imagining Political Community: Studies in Cosmopolitan Democracy

"Extending democracy beyond borders is what I advocated throughout my mandate at the UN. This fascinating book tells us that while transnational democracy is still a utopian fantasy, it may be the reality of tomorrow."--Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations
"The authors of this impressive volume argue that globalization is making it harder for democracies to operate as nation-states. . . . If the challenges of the environment, global security, and economic regulation in the 21st century require new international institutions, this book succeeds in showing that considerations of democracy and accountability cannot stop at the water's edge."--Foreign Affairs
