Reviews

'Many analysts have pointed to the critical importance of democratic deficits of various stripes, ranging from those in the United Nations and the European Union to the communities in which we live or teach. Do such deficits really matter? For those who believe that they do, we finally have a cohesive edited volume that addresses a complex, but indispensable and often overlooked, challenge for scholars who truly care about the future of global governance, namely its democratic legitimacy... If you are interested in democracy and global governance-and there should be no one who is not-read this book from cover-to-cover. It is essential reading for those interested in the future of our troubled and fragile planet.' - From the foreword by Thomas G. Weiss, City University of New York, US
