“In this thoughtful and thought-provoking book, Josep Colomer demonstrates that effective institutions of global governance exist. A single world government is neither possible nor desirable. But it is also unnecessary. Instead, anumber of effective institutions already carry out essential functions of world governance. Moreover, in spite of worries about ‘democratic deficits’, those institutions are able to meet the essential requirements of an effective democracy: representation, competence, consensus, and accountability.”
