The scale, effectiveness and legitimacy of global governance lag far behind the world's needs. This path-breaking book examines how far civil society involvement provides an answer to these problems. Does civil society make global governance more democratic? Have citizen action groups raised the accountability of global bodies that deal with challenges such as climate change, financial crises, conflict, disease and inequality? What circumstances have promoted (or blocked) civil society efforts to make global governance institutions more democratically accountable? What could improve these outcomes in the future? The authors base their argument on studies of thirteen global institutions, including the UN, G8, WTO, ICANN and IMF. Specialists from around the world critically assess what has and has not worked in efforts to make global bodies answer to publics as well as states. Combining intellectual depth and political relevance, Building Global Democracy? will appeal to students, researchers, activists and policymakers. ... less

Across Europe social democracy is in crisis. The countries which formits collective home, Britain, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy and France, are all currently governed by centre right parties. It seems that change to European social democracy is essential. The contributors to this volume look at what kind of change this might be. In the last decade European social democracy has ceased to be about either society or democracy. In government it has embraced liberal economic principles that undermined solidarity and association. Along the way the idea of the common good has been lost and there is no vision of a 'Good Society'. The authors explore the values of European social democracy, how it can be revived and what kind of political economy it requires in order to thrive. An international group of distinguished academics addresses these issues and looks at how European social democracy can be used the build the Good Society. The Future of European Social Democracy also includes a foreword and appendix by the two leaders of the ' Building the Good Society' project on which the book is based, Andrea Nahles and Jon Cruddas. ... less

Jobs of Our Own: Building a Stake Holder Society (Radical Writing) - Race Mathews
This study works from the premise that there is little enthusiasm today for massive state ownership, and no trust in the alternative of unbounded capitalism....... more
This study works from the premise that there is little enthusiasm today for massive state ownership, and no trust in the alternative of unbounded capitalism. Third Way proposals have often turned out to be no less sterile. Veteran Labour thinker Race Mathews argues for distributism - the belief that ownership should be widely distributed rather than concentrated in the hands of the state or in wealthy minorities. Drawing on the legacies of Christian Socialism, Social Catholicism, mutualism, associative democracy and civil society, the author proposes a new "evolved distributism" vision of society. He sees common ground between distributism and mutualist bodies such as mutual assurance societies, building societies, co-operatives and credit unions. Race Mathews also warns that the conversion of mutuals into commercial companies is robbing the community of assets which are needed for social reconstruction. He points to evolved distributism on the model of the co-operatives complex at Mondragon in Spain as an authentic Third Way. ... less
