The Global Commonwealth of Citizens critically examines the prospects for cosmopolitan democracy as a viable and humane response to the challenges of globalization. Arising after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the decisive affirmation of Western-style democracy, cosmopolitan democracy envisions a world politics in which democratic participation by citizens is not constrained by national borders, and where democracy spreads through dialogue and incentives, not coercion and war. This is an incisive and thought-provoking book by one of the world's leading proponents of cosmopolitan democracy.
Daniele Archibugi looks at all aspects of cosmopolitan democracy in theory and practice. Is democracy beyond nation-states feasible? Is it possible to inform global governance with democratic norms and values, and if so, how? Archibugi carefully answers questions like these and forcefully responds to skeptics and critics. He argues that democracy can be extended to the global political arena by strengthening and reforming existing international organizations and creating new ones, and he calls for dramatic changes in the foreign policies of nations to make them compatible with global public interests. Archibugi advocates giving voice to new global players such as social movements, cultural communities, and minorities. He proposes building institutional channels across borders to address common problems, and encourages democratic governance at the local, national, regional, and global levels.
The Global Commonwealth of Citizens is an accessible introduction to the subject that will be of interest to students and scholars in political science, international relations, international law, and human rights.

"Archibugi has been a leading proponent of new forms of cosmopolitan political community in which citizens have opportunities to participate directly in making global choices. In this book, he provides a grand summation of a decade of thinking about cosmopolitan democracy. . . . Archibugi's claim that democracy must be reinvented for a global era leads to extended discussions of the ways in which transnational democracy might operate. It is easy for such discussions to become abstract statements of political dreams, but Archibugi, to his credit, rolls up his sleeves and grapples with the specific ways in which citizen groups can get directly involved." --Foreign Affairs
"In applying cosmopolitan logic to concrete issues such as humanitarian intervention, institutional reform at the UN, and democratic transitions, Archibugi has provided an indispensable contribution." --Choice
