AT THE LOCAL/NATIONAL LEVEL

(6)

Global democracy

•  Global (?) + Democracy (?) •  Demos (one people) + kratos (power + authority) •  "Government of the people, by the people, for the people”

(7)

Government of the people

•  The people is homogeneous (ethnically, linguisCcally, or commiYed to the same values)

•  The people is sovereign (it makes laws; it appoint bureaucrats and rulers)

(8)

Government by the people

•  Ancient Greece, Swiss cantons : parCcipatory democracy, every ciCzen votes (within limits: indigenous men only) •  Modern revoluCons (UK, US, F): representaCve democracy (to some extent: government of the “natural” aristocracy) since “the people’s self rule is non feasible”

(9)

Government for the people

•  US: government by the elites, above the ordinary people (educated, enlightened,

wealthy)

•  Dedicated to the promoVon of the public

(10)

AT THE GLOBAL/INTERNATIONAL LEVEL

(11)

More challenging

•  DemocraCc deficit, lack of democraCc responsiveness: even more dramaCc! •  Greater heterogeneity, bigger numbers: no “demos” •  No “individuals”? (at least, not everywhere) •  No world parliament, no world government, no world supreme court

(12)

No World Parliament

(13)

The UN: regionalized, one state one

vote

African Group Asia-Pacific Group Eastern European Group Group of LaCn American and Caribbean States (GRULAC) Western European and Others Group (WEOG) No group

(14)

Problem: What is the “demos”?

•  DomesCcally, “all individuals significantly

affected by a decision-making process should

have an equal say in how that power is exercised”

•  Globally, individual internaConal organizaCons

(15)

SoluVon: DemocraVzaVon by proxies

•  DemocraCzaCon, a process (rather than “democracy”, which is the outcome of this process) •  DemocraCzaCon by Proxies: InternaConal stakeholders rather than the people

(16)

InternaVonal stakeholders

•  IGOs, Banks, Funds, Programs) •  NGOs, “advocacy” groups •  Business lobbies and unions, FoundaCons, think tanks, epistemic communiCes, etc. •  They do not make law, but impose standards

(17)

The democraVzaVon of IOs

•  DemocraCzaCon of what? Of the internaConal/world stakeholders decision making process ! •  = more inclusiveness, transparency, accountability

(18)

The globalizaVon of benefits and costs

•  Global public goods, the ulCmate goal (instead of

the vague “public interest”)

•  Can be provisioned only beyond each single state, interstate cooperaCon is required

•  This implies interorganizaConal cooperaCon:

each organized stakeholder parCcipates in a sort of “checks and balances” system, a mutual
