Description
Book SynopsisIn this book Macdonald elaborates a democratic framework based on the new theoretical concepts of 'public power', 'stakeholder communities' and 'non-electoral representation', and illustrates the practical implications of these proposals for projects of global institutional reform.
Trade Reviewan impressive achievement which lifts the debate on global democracy to a new level ... a veritable treasure box full of original insights, sharp and sophisticated arguments ... This book should be studied by anyone interested in the democratisation of global governance and indeed in the future of democracy. * Mathias Koenig-Archibugi, Political Studies Review *
