'In a world where the boundaries of nation-states are criss-crossed by vast movements of people, capital, cultures and ideas and increasingly contested from within and without, questions about the scope of democracy should be at the forefront of democratic theory. This volume will ensure that they are. The contributors are amongst the leading thinkers in the field and their papers address the nature and scope of democracy in fresh and insightful ways in light of current developments in world politics. Topical, timely and well-organized, this volume is a must for democratic theorists everywhere.' Duncan Ivison, University of Sydney
'This is an excellent collection by leading political theorists on the prospects for democracy given the challenges to the standard boundaries of democratic societies - the challenge to 'outer edges' by processes of globalisation and the challenge to 'inner edges' by processes of pluralisation … I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in the future of democracy.' James Tully, University of Victoria
