It assesses whether this “challenge from below” enables reconstruction or re-imagination of global governance, human rights diffusion, and the rise of a global citizenry. The volume also asks whether global civil society is truly novel, how far state-system transformation may reach, and what limitations and drawbacks accompany it. ","Global Civil Society  \nFor many commentators, global civil society is revolutionising our approach to global politics as new non-state-based and border-free expressions of political community challenge territorial sovereignty as the exclusive basis for political community and identity. This challenge ‘from below’ to the nation-state system is increasingly seen as promising nothing less than a reconstruction, or re-imagination, of world politics itself. Whether in terms of the democratisation of the institutions of global governance, the spread of human rights across the world, or the emergence of a global citizenry in a world-wide public sphere, global civil society is understood by many to provide the agency necessary to these hoped-for transformations.  \nGlobal Civil Society asks whether global civil society is such a qualitatively new phenomenon after all; whether the transformation of the states’ system is actually within its reach; and what some of its drawbacks might be. The authors explore and critically evaluate a variety of perspectives: the cosmopolitan vision; the view of global civil society as transnational movements advocating a growing moralisation of world politics; and more sceptical views, advancing new possibilities for understanding the role of nonstate actors in global politics.  \nThis book brings together for the first time the whole range of established and alternative voices on global civil society, both congratulatory and critical, to set a marker for the state of the debate about global civil society today. This book will be invaluable for students and researchers in the fields of International Politics, Democratisation and Civil Society.  \nGideon Baker is a lecturer in Political Theory at the University of Salford.
