Democratizing Global Governance
Esref Aksu and Joseph A. Camilleri (eds), Democratizing Global Governance, London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002, xix + 305pp.
Is globalization beyond human control? In this thought-provoking text, the myths and mantras of this apparently irresistible force are challenged and dissembled. By examining a number of fundamental questions, the contributors put forward a radical reform agenda for global governance. Can the global multilateral system be democratic? Are security and economic concerns separable? Can the development of a global civil society contribute to effective global governance? An important and wide ranging study, this book is essential reading for graduates and researchers in international relations.
The book was launched by The Hon Barry Jones AC at Reader's Feast, Melbourne
