This path-breaking book examines how far civil society involvement provides an answer to these problems. Does civil society make global governance more democratic? Have citizen action groups raised the accountability of global bodies that deal with challenges such as climate change, financial crises, conflict, disease and inequality? What circumstances have promoted (or blocked) civil society efforts to make global governance institutions more democratically accountable? What could improve these outcomes in the future? The authors base their argument on studies of thirteen global institutions, including the UN, G8, WTO, ICANN and IMF. Specialists from around the world critically assess what has and has not worked in efforts to make global bodies answer to publics as well as states. Combining intellectual depth and political relevance, Building Global Democracy? will appeal to students, researchers, activists and policymakers. 606 $aDemocratization 606 $aCivil society 606 $aInternational organization 615 0$aDemocratization. 615 0$aCivil society. 615 0$aInternational organization. 676 $a321.8 702 $aScholte$b Jan Aart 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461475003321 996 $aBuilding global democracy$91895965 997 $aUNINA
