The contributors to this volume question the significance of this dichotomy between the universal and the particular, arguing that it reflects how the modern state has instituted the basic rights and obligations of its members and that these institutions are undergoing fundamental transformations under the pressure of globalization. They show that the social bonds uniting groups constitute the means of our freedom, rather than obstacles to achieving the universal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This excellent set of essays offers a fantastic contribution to how we might consider the relation between the national and the global in modern political thought, written by many of the leading international figures in the field….A terrific resource for anyone interested in engaging more deeply with the ways we should conceive liberal democracy in light of globalization with far reaching implications for politics, philosophy and public policy.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  Thom Brooks\u003c\/strong\u003e, Durham University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book contains the best and the most original and innovative contributions I ever read on how to consider national and global political issues beyond the current dichotomy we find in contemporary literature….The book will be an indispensable tool for all those who are interested in the future of Liberal Democracy…”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  Lukas K.
