In this book, he provides a grand summation of a decade of thinking about cosmopolitan democracy... Archibugi's claim that democracy must be reinvented for a global era leads to extended discussions of the ways in which transnational democracy might operate. It is easy for such discussions to become abstract statements of political dreams, but Archibugi, to his credit, rolls up his sleeves and grapples with the specific ways in which citizen groups can get directly involved. Foreign Affairs In applying cosmopolitan logic to concrete issues such as humanitarian intervention, institutional reform at the UN, and democratic transitions, Archibugi has provided an indispensable contribution. Choice This work is a much awaited book length exposition of the project of global democracy from one of its leading proponents and represents the culmination of two decades of reflection on this topic. This shows in the richness, thoughtfulness and depth of the arguments the author puts forward in his contribution to a debate that is fundamental for contemporary politics. -- Tiziana Torresi Global Justice Network Archibugi offers a morally appealing vision of cosmopolitan democracy, and thus anyone who has yet to give up on modernity's humanitarian impulses should read this book. -- William E. Scheuerman Perspectives on Politics Archibugi outlines his cosmopolitan project in a simple and readable style. Anyone interested in problems of global governance will find the book stimulating and instructive. -- Faruk Yalvac Spectrum His erudition and command of the salient literature are evident throughout this work, and he moves with ease through a range of debates about suprastate accountability, while engaging convincingly with numerous possible critiques of cosmopolitan democracy... The Global Commonwealth of Citizens provides not only an exhaustive treatment of the benefits and drawbacks of cosmopolitan democracy but the most detailed statement to date of how some form of cosmopolitandemocracy could be realized. -- Luis Cabrera Ethics & International Affairs Archibugi has been a leading proponent of new forms of cosmopolitan political community in which citizens have opportunities to participate directly in making global choices.
