Democracia E Globalização
O próprio processo de governo está ficando fora do alcance do estado nacional
Prolegomena to a critical theory of the global order
We start from, and expand on, a basic insight in negative dialectic, namely, that our main concern should be with the absolute worst in political life. We then consider how this might have an impact on the way we understand the role and grounds of moral equality. Subsequently, we move on to explain the importance of decency in political morality. Finally, we take a closer look to basic data about global poverty and inequality and what these might…
Elements of a Theory of Global Governance
After the devastation of World War II, a new international community was built, organized under the newly formed United Nations which oversaw the development of a new legal and institutional framework for the maintenance of peace and security. Maintaining global peace and stability served the purpose of limiting violence, but it was also a prerequisite for accelerating “globalisation”. Even during the years of the Cold War, deep tensions between …
Elements of a theory of global governance
In the aftermath of the Second World War the international institutional breakthroughs that occurred provided the momentum for decades of sustained economic growth and geopolitical stability sufficient for the transformation of the world economy, the shift from the cold war to a multipolar order, and the rise of new communication and network societies. However, what worked then does not work as well now, as gridlock freezes problem-solving capaci…
Sovereignty, Political Authority, and Gridlock
This article examines the impact of the growth of multilateral and transnational governance on sovereignty and the diffusion of political authority. It begins by exploring the legacy of World War II and the building of the UN system. The rise of intergovernmentalism and transnational governance arrangements is examined followed by an assessment of some of the leading changes in the postwar global politics landscape. These issues are explored in g…

La démocratie cosmopolitique
Cet article est une réponse directe à certains critiques du projet de démocratie cosmopolitique, qui insistent sur l'absence de détails sur les acteurs politiques, économiques et sociaux susceptibles d'avoir un intérêt à soutenir ce programme. Nous montrons qu'il existe différentes manières de développer la gouvernance démocratique au niveau mondial, qui sont associées à divers acteurs politiques, économiques et sociaux trouvant leur intérêt dans…
Conceptualiser les faiblesses de la gouvernance mondiale
Comment devrions-nous conceptualiser les faiblesses de la gouvernance mondiale associée à la récente crise financière mondiale ? Nous soutenons que la gouvernance mondiale financière a pu être caractérisée par l'intrication d'un système de communication et de coordination, responsable de quelques réussites majeures. Ses échecs peuvent être conceptualisés à la fois en termes de manque de capacités institutionnelles d'une part, de représentation et…
Cosmopolitan Democracy
One of the recurrent criticisms of the project of cosmopolitan democracy has been that it has not examined the political, economic and social agents that might have an interest in pursuing this programme. This criticism is addressed directly in this article. It shows that there are a variety of paths that, in their own right, could lead to more democratic global governance, and that there are a diversity of political, economic and social agents t…
Governing Globalization
Since the UN's creation in 1945 a vast nexus of global and regional institutions has evolved, surrounded by a proliferation of non-governmental agencies and advocacy networks seeking to influence the agenda and direction of international public policy. Although world government remains a fanciful idea, there does exist an evolving global governance complex - embracing states, international institutions, transnational networks and agencies (both p…
Global Transformations
In this book, the authors set forth a new model of globalization that lays claims to supersede existing models, and then use this model to assess the way the processes of globalization have operated in different historic periods in respect to political organization, military globalization, trade, finance, corporate productivity, migration, culture, and the environment. Each of these topics is covered in a chapter which contrasts the contemporary …
Cosmopolitanism after 9/11
Restructuring Global Governance
Cosmopolitanism is concerned to disclose the ethical, cultural and legal basis of political order in a world where political communities and states matter, but not only and exclusively. In circumstances where the trajectories of each and every country are tightly entwined, the partiality of ‘ reasons of state’ needs to be recognised. While states are hugely important vehicles to aid the delivery of effective public recognition, equal liberty and …
Ridefinire la governance globale
The Author analyses the paradox of our times that can be stated simply: the collective issues we must grapple with are of growing extensity and intensity and, yet, the means for addressing them are weak and incomplete. So the paper tries to speak on a necessity of a reframing a global governance in an increasingly interconnected world, where global problems cannot be solved by any one nation-state acting alone. They call for collective and collab…
Cultural Politics in a Global Age
Examines the question, 'What is the future of culture in the age of globalization?' This work features essays that aim to represent a major theoretical and methodological challenge to the social sciences, and question the nature of globalization and the culture of change
Globalization/Anti-Globalization
De l'urgente nécessité de réformer la gouvernance globale
Le réchauffement climatique, la pauvreté ou la menace d’une catastrophe nucléaire comptent parmi les défis majeurs auxquels l’humanité se doit de faire face collectivement en ce début de 21e siècle. Malgré la gravité et l’urgence de la situation, les moyens dont nous disposons pour résoudre de tels problèmes demeurent limités et incomplets. Il est dès lors non seulement essentiel mais aussi urgent de penser comment faire face à de tels enjeux glo…
Reframing global governance
In this article, the author describes and supports with evidence the three global issues that require the most urgent solution. Then he explains the challenges in governance that it is necessary to overcome for the solution of such problems. After describing the contemporary trends in global governance, the article proposes some ways to strengthen it while citizenship and democracy become mutually strengthened. Lastly, the article warns us on the…
Models of Democracy
The first two editions of Models of Democracy have proven immensely popular among students and specialists worldwide. In a succinct and far-reaching analysis, David Held provides an introduction to central accounts of democracy from classical Greece to the present and a critical discussion of what democracy should mean today. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to take account of significant transformations in world politics…
Problems of Global Democracy
HP: International or planetary democracy was first discussed in the 1940s when the United Nations was founded. During the Cold War years, the topic was all but forgotten. However, in the 1970s, when the Third World demanded a New International Economic Order, it was declared that 'all states are judicially equal and, as equal members of the international community, have the right to participate fully and effectively in the international decision-…
Principles of cosmopolitan order
Cosmopolitanism is concerned to disclose the ethical, cultural, and legal basis of political order in a world where political communities and states matter, but not only and exclusively. In circumstances where the trajectories of each and every country are tightly entwined, the partiality, one-sidedness and limitedness of "reasons of state" need to be recognized. While states are hugely important vehicles to aid the delivery of effective regulati…

Democracy and the global order
Democracy, the nation-state and the global system
All too often democratic theory has taken the nation-state for granted, it has assumed that democracies can be understood largely by reference to the forces and actors within delimited territorial boudaries. This assumption is systematically questioned in an exploration of the interconnections between democracy and the global system. An enquiry is undertaken into the empirical adequacy of an account of democratic politics cast in terms of nationa…

Democracy
This article traces the development of the idea of democracy from city-states and the early republican tradition to liberalism and Marxism. The relevance of leading conceptions of democracy to contemporary circumstances are then explored. In light of the complex interconnections among states and societies, a set of arguments are developed which offer a new agenda for democratic theory which departs from an exclusive focus on particular political …
Globalization and the Liberal Democratic State
At First Sight it Might Appear Somewhat Curious to be studying the efficacy of the liberal democratic state just at that historic moment when liberal democracy seems to have triumphed on a global scale. Yet within contemporary Europe, the nature of political community and sovereign power have been thrown into question by the resurgence of ethnic nationalism, the intensification of regional integration and global turbulence. Taken together, these …
Re-imagining political community
This book sets out to explore the changing meaning of political community in a world of regional and global social and economic relations. From a variety of academic backgrounds, its authors reconsider some of the key terms of political association, such as legitimacy, sovereignty, identity and citizenship. The common approach of the authors is to generate an innovative account of what democracy means today and how it can be reconceptualized to i…
Democratic Accountability and Political Effectiveness from a Cosmopolitan Perspective
From the destruction of the twin towers on 11 September 2001 to the failure of trade discussions at Cancún in September 2003, issues are raised that not only concern large swathes of the world's population, but can only be adequately resolved by increased coordination and cooperation across borders. How such coordination and cooperation can be achieved, and how and to whom there should be accountability, are the themes of this article. The articl…

Regulating Globalization? The Reinvention of Politics
This article explores the political implications of the growing enmeshment of human communities with each other over time and the way in which the fate of peoples is determined increasingly by complex social, economic and environmental processes that stretch across their borders. Examining the growing interconnections between states and societies, the article focuses on the transformations that are under way in the form and nature of political co…

The processes, problems and dilemmas generated by globalisation shape new contours of politics. They delineate some of the starkest challenges faced in the contemporary era. The first half of this article maps some of these, focusing particularly on questions of governance. Exploring the changing circumstances of politics illuminates why nationalism and statism provide inadequate political resources to meet the problems posed by a more global age…

Globalization and cosmopolitan democracy
Globalization is a much contested word. On the one hand, some claim we live in a completely global order—an integrated world economy and society. On the other hand, some question the extent of globalization and see the national state as robust and integrated as it ever was. Both these views are misleading. The processes of globalization have been fundamentally changing the world in which we live. This is not entirely new since societies have alwa…
Economic Globalization and the Nation-State
Economic globalization is an idea that has been around long enough to ensure that much of its original analytical promise and explanatory potential has been drowned by hype and tarnished by overinflated claims. In some of the more extreme positions, which we refer to as hyperglobalization, it has been argued that we now live in a world in which social processes and institutions operate predominantly at a global scale. National economies, in parti…
The End of the Old Order ? Globalization and the Prospects for World Order
In reflecting upon the prospects for world order, in the concluding chapter of The Twenty Years' Crisis, E. H. Carr advised that ‘few things are permanent in history; and it would be rash to assume that the territorial unit of power is one of them’. Based upon his observation that world order was being reshaped by the contradictory imperatives of progressive economic integration and a ‘recrudescence of disintegrating tendencies’, Carr concluded w…
Democracy and Globalization
One of the most conspicuous features of politics at the turn of the millennium is the emergence of issues which transcend national frontiers. Processes of economic internationalization, the problem of the environment and the emergence of regional and global networks of communication are increasingly matters of concern for the international community as a whole. The nature and limits of national democracies have to be reconsidered in relation to p…

The Young Lukács and the Origins of Western Marxism
Crisis Tendencies, Legitimation and the State
Habermas's writings on advanced capitalist societies represent an important contribution to social theory. In conjunction with his colleagues he has helped to direct our understanding of the organisational principles of society away from old dogmas — dogmas asserting, for instance, that the state is merely 'a system of coercion to support the dominant class' or that it is 'a coalition balancing all legitimate interests'. Since the advantages of H…

Classes, Power and Conflict. Classical and Contemporary Debates
In recent years a remarkable range of new work has been produced dealing with class inequalities, the division of labor, and the state. In these writings scholars previously working in isolation from one another in sociology, economics, political science, and history have found common ground. Much of this work has been influenced by Marxist theory, but at the same time it has involved critiques of established Marxist views, and incorporated ideas…

The Welfare State and the Future of Socialism
QUESTION: We would like to begin this discussion of the welfare state and the future of socialism by asking you about several substantive aspects of your work on the limitations of the welfare state. To begin with, why do you often say that late capitalist systems can neither live with nor without the welfare state? Do you consider this to be their fundamental contradiction? OFFE: A short-hand defintion of a contradiciton is that it is a conditio…

Citizenship and autonomy
In this chapter, I wish to cut a particular path through Anthony Giddens's work by focusing on the way in which he interprets the relationship between citizenship, capitalism and the possibilities of a new 'progressive' politics. I believe this to be a particularly fertile domain in which to assess his writings because it is in exploring the interconnections between class, citizenship and related phenomena that Anthony Giddens analyses some of th…
Social Theory of Modern Societies
This book offers a comprehensive appraisal of the work of Anthony Giddens, who is known worldwide as one of the leading figures in social theory and the social sciences. During the last decade Giddens has published a series of substantial volumes which have defined a distinctive and original theoretical approach. The twin focal points of his approach are the 'theory of structuration' and the analysis of 'modernity'. Giddens's writings on these an…
