The Internal and External Levers to Achieve Global Democracy

The Internal and External Levers to Achieve Global Democracy The paper explores the methods to introduce democratic devices in global governance. The first part makes an attempt to define what democratic global governance is and what its aims are. The second part provides some benchmark to identify when and how international organizations, the most important and visible part of global governance, correspond to the values of democracy. The third part presents what we label the internal and the external levers. The internal lever is defined as the ways in which democratization within countries helps to foster more transparent, accountable and participatory forms of global governance. The external lever is defined as the ways in which international organizations contribute to promote democratic transition and consolidation in their members. Neither the internal nor the external levers work effectively if they are left to inter‐governmental bargaining only. An active participation of non‐governmental actors is needed in order to make them effective. The paper finally discusses a list of proposals to democratize global governance. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Global Policy Wiley

Abstract

The paper explores the methods to introduce democratic devices in global governance. The first part makes an attempt to define what democratic global governance is and what its aims are. The second part provides some benchmark to identify when and how international organizations, the most important and visible part of global governance, correspond to the values of democracy. The third part presents what we label the internal and the external levers. The internal lever is defined as the ways in which democratization within countries helps to foster more transparent, accountable and participatory forms of global governance. The external lever is defined as the ways in which international organizations contribute to promote democratic transition and consolidation in their members. Neither the internal nor the external levers work effectively if they are left to inter‐governmental bargaining only. An active participation of non‐governmental actors is needed in order to make them effective. The paper finally discusses a list of proposals to democratize global governance.
