Daniele Archibugi (2011): Cosmopolitan Democracy: A Restatement

The text is about the foundations of cosmopolitan democracy (normative political theory) developed since the early 1990s.

Questions to discussion:

1) Can democracy be expanded beyond borders? Or not?

2) Can the norms and values of democracy be applied within the boundaries of a state only?

3) Can democracy can also be enriched over international organizations and global politics? 

4) Can the global rule of law be developed?

5) What is the power due to direct participation of stake-holders in trans-border political decisions?

6) What is the possibility to give voice to citizens through a World Parliamentary Assembly.

7) What is the possibility to create the world parliament and global rule of law?

8) Is 1)-7) realistic or not?
