In The Government of Peoples , Francis Cheneval makes an important contribution to debates about extending democracy across borders. His conception of a 'multilateral democracy' cuts across the current lines of debate, offering a novel and comprehensive solution to the problems of democracy in a global era. --James Bohman, Saint Louis University and author of Democracy Across Borders In this masterful and original book, Francis Cheneval breaks fundamental new grounds by bringing together the many strands of scholarship relevant to our thinking on democracy among peoples and by demonstrating the relevance of Rawls' original position to the European project. A must read for anyone interested in the debates on democracy and the future of the European Union. --Kalypso Nicolaidis, professor of International Relations, University of Oxford
