Reviews

'Carol Gould demonstrates again why she is one of the world's best thinkers on interlinked questions of democracy, justice, freedom, and human rights. Her fresh interactive approach yields compelling arguments and new insights on the whole range of key questions in political philosophy, especially as they confront a globalizing world.' John Dryzek, Australian National University 'This engaging book further develops Gould's well-known account of global democracy from her previous writings. It is a significant contribution to the global justice literature.' Kok-Chor Tan, University of Pennsylvania

An increasingly global, multilayered, dynamic, networked, digital world requires an equally integrated political theory to guide its development, and Gould's book gives us such a model.' Michael Buckley, The Philosophical Quarterly 'The book is an insightful contribution to the global-justice literature and should be read together with the touchstone texts of global justice.' Brooke A. Ackerly, The Review of Politics
