Do such deficits really matter? For those who believe that they do, we finally have a cohesive edited volume that addresses a complex, but indispensable and often overlooked, challenge for scholars who truly care about the future of global governance, namely its democratic legitimacy. . . If you are interested in democracy and global governance - and there should be no one who is not - read this book from cover to cover. It is essential reading for those interested in the future of our troubled and fragile planet.’ </i>
