| Description | In The Coming Democracy, leading political analyst Ann Florini sets forth a compelling new paradigm for transnational governance. It is based on the concept of 'transparency', the idea that the free flow of information-on topics ranging from corporate and government behavior to nuclear proliferation to biodiversity protection-provides power ways to hold decision makers accountable and to give ordinary people meaningful voice in shaping the policies that affect them. Thanks to the dramatic breakthroughs in information technology of the past decade, such transparency is now possible on a global scale. The author considers the roles of national governments, inter-governmental organizations, private enterprise, and civil society in enabling democracy to keep pace with globalization, and also examines the objections and obstacles that are likely to be raised. She shows how this new form of governance offers real hope for managing global problems, and offers a compelling scenario that demonstrates how existing conventions and institutions can lead the way in the evolution of a better system of global governance. |
