Is global governance bound to be undemocratic?

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the tension between global governance and democracy, the essay argues that internationalization often leads to a democratic deficit, as posited by Dahrendorf. It distinguishes governance from government, emphasizing the lack of a world authority to address global issues, which are instead managed through negotiations among various intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). The discussion includes an analysis of democratic processes within this framework and concludes with a pessimistic outlook on the potential for achieving international democratic decision-making in the future.
