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, Democracyas Human Rights provides a carefully argued theory of democracy in which traditional representative government is supported by global institutions designed to guarantee fundamental human rights.

Terms of sale
Pictures
All images in my listings show the actual book being sold. Just after a listing is uploaded, ABE may show a "stock image". Stock images are often incorrect
Images showing Contents pages are optimised for clarity and are not a reliable guide to page size or condition.
Pagination
Paginations (page counts) in my listings show the number of pages actually in the book rather than the last printed page number.
ISBN Numbers
ISBN numbers are not a reliable way of identifying books, beyond author, title and publisher. Books published before 1971 do not have ISBN numbers at all. ISBN numbers in my listings show the number actually printed in the book or dust-jacket.
Right of withdrawal
