Towards a Global Polity : Future Trends and Prospects, Paperback / softback Book

Towards a Global Polity : Future Trends and Prospects Paperback / softback

Edited by Richard Higgott, Morten Ougaard

Part of the Routledge Studies in Globalisation series

Paperback / softback

Description

While 'one world government' is not on the cards, the globalization of political life has progressed significantly over the last decades.

Rather than adding to existing theoretical frameworks such as the realist picture of international anarchy or the English School's ‘international society’, this volume starts out from the idea of the world as one interconnected political system and explores ways and perspectives in which to analyse it as such.

Subjects discussed include national sovereignty, law, public management, networks, economic governance, institutions and Europe. The contributors examine central aspects of this emerging global polity such as the role of law, of networks and of civil society.

They discuss key theoretical and meta-theoretical questions on how to analyze and theorize the global polity, what drives it forward, and whether it can be democratized. Contributed to, and edited by renowned names in the field, the outstanding scholarship presented in this topical book provides an original contribution to the literature on globalization and global governance.
