Financial Times Book Review

"This study of the relationship between democracy and globalisation argues that, as globalisation disrupts democracy we need to 鈥済lobalise democracy.鈥� Thus, the authors argue for more representative, effective and accountable government at local, national, continental and global levels, via novel combinations of direct democracy, representative government and rule by experts. This is an idealistic, but also logical, direction for humanity to go. But will it?"
