Description

Recent decades have seen a proliferation of proposals within political theory and international relations to reform global governance institutions along democratic lines. (1) It is, though, increasingly possible to discern another related but distinct trend: proposals to reform these institutions by making them more deliberative. (2) In many cases these two aspirations--to enhance the democratic and deliberative character of global governance--go hand in glove, particularly when democracy itself is understood in deliberative terms. However, the sheer number of approaches that seek to open up governance to deliberative reason, contestation, or some other mode of public communication, coupled with the fact that not all of these approaches are characterized by their advocates as "democratic," suggests that it may be fruitful to focus specifically on the theme of deliberation. To that end, we address the emerging nexus between deliberation and global governance. Three distinct approaches to deliberative global politics can be identified, which we label liberal, cosmopolitan, and critical. Although there is substantial diversity and disagreement within each paradigm, these labels mark out recognizable, albeit porous, boundaries in the intellectual terrain. Liberals aim to establish a shared basis for ongoing public reasoning among international actors, usually in the form of a minimum range of human rights, but do not equate this deliberative praxis with any broad-based democratization of global governance. Cosmopolitans, by contrast, are more optimistic about using deliberation as a basis for achieving democracy at global--or at least transnational--levels. And while critical approaches share this optimism, they focus more specifically on the democratic potential of deliberation within global civil society and its public spheres.
