Conclusion

Cosmopolitan democracy is a project that seeks to reorder global politics according to democratic rules. This is driven by a strong commitment to tame globalization so that democratic autonomy can be secured for all of humanity. In the words of David Held (2000: 237): “in a world of intensifying regional and global relations, with marked overlapping’ communities of fate,’ the principle of autonomy requires entrenchment in regional and global networks as well as in national and local polities.” The core elements of this project are global and transnational institutions constituted by all those affected by an issue, and a program of social policies and economic regulation to ensure that capitalism provides all individuals with the means to effectively exercise their human rights. In the next chapter, we address the approach of deliberative democracy, which tends to have less grand ambitions for the democratization of global politics. Deliberative democrats focus on the more limited but extremely important aim of increasing the deliberative capacity of existing global governance and creating new forms of deliberation that can contribute to wider democratic inclusion in the decision-making structures of global politics.
