Description

James Bohman Democracy Across Borders: From Demos To Demoi: Cambridge, MA: MIT Press 2007. Pp. 227. US$35.00 (cloth ISBN-13: 978-0-262-02612-3). This is a stunning contribution to the current discussion on global justice and democracy from an imaginative and brilliant theorist of critical democratic theory. The book is published at a time when even liberal internationalists, such as Thomas Nagel, who broadly follows the Rawlsian tradition, express their puzzlement with the vast and pervading effects of global cooperation, economic and political institutions and the significant fact that state sovereignty and political authority have been radically challenged and transformed. This comes as no surprise when one realizes that, for critics and defenders of the possibility of global justice and democracy alike, the problem and its solution is one of scale or size. Either we form a conception of cosmopolitan democracy based on a global state institution and universal human rights, or we stay at the level of small, self-governed, communities, that is, states, and abandon any such ambition. This is a very rough description of the dilemma, and one can identify cosmopolitan liberals and libertarians at the first horn, and communitarians and liberal internationalists at the second horn. Bohman's thesis in this book manages to go beyond this dilemma. As Dewey, who Bohman cites extensively with much approval, argues, we do not need more of the same democracy but a whole new conception of it.
