Is global democracy possible? Can international institutions be created that govern in the interests of common people and communities? In Global Governance, Kristin Dawkins analyzes how the profit motive has placed corporate power above all else in the drive to shape and control international decision making. As a solution to this problem, Dawkins studies the ways international organizations could work together to create a decentralized global democracy that would protect local sovereignty, and advance diversity through real community-based decision making.
