Description
Global Democratic Theory: A Critical Introduction By Daniel Bray and Steven Slaughter Polity Press, 2015 272 pages, paperback This comprehensive introduction to global democratic theory explores how globalization is transforming democracy in today's interconnected world. The authors examine the impact of new forms of governance and activism on democratic politics, considering calls for alternative forms of democracy beyond the nation-state. The book is divided into two parts, first exploring the challenges facing democracy within nation-states, and then critically analyzing five main approaches to global democratic theory: liberal internationalism, cosmopolitan democracy, deliberative democracy, social democracy, and radical democracy. This in-depth analysis will be essential reading for students and scholars of politics, political theory, and political philosophy. By examining both the obstacles and opportunities presented by globalization, Global Democratic Theory provides a nuanced understanding of the complex issues facing democracy today.
