  • Cosmopolitan Democracy: Paths and Agents Daniele Archibugi and David Held
    1 Cosmopolitan Democracy: Paths and Agents Daniele Archibugi and David Held Twenty years after When at the end of the Cold War and at the beginning of a new wave of democratization we suggested the idea of a cosmopolitan democracy (Archibugi and Held, 1995; Held, 1995), we were aware that we were pouring old wine into new bottles. The attempt to make world politics more transparent, more accountable, more participatory and more respectful of the rule of law had pioneers spanning from Immanuel Kant to Richard Falk. Still, the idea that ‘democracy’ as a concept and a practice could and should be applied beyond nation states was some- how innovative. If we read the international relations textbooks prior to 1989, we may be surprised to note that many of them do not even contain the word ‘democracy’. When the word appears, it is generally in reference to the internal political system of states and certainly not in relation to the possibility of subjugating world politics to democratic rules. Even international organizations (IOs) were mostly seen as purely inter- governmental bodies and the prospect of making them more democratic was not contemplated. The European Union, the first IO composed exclusively by democratic regimes and with some germs of democratic norms in its modus operandi, was mostly discussed in relation to the lim- its it imposed on its member countries rather than in terms of its ability to deal publicly with transnational issues. The state of the art was not very different in the realm of democratic theory. Most of the textbooks dedicated to democracy, including the first edition of the work of one of us (Held, 1987), did not contain any reference to the problem of democ- racy beyond borders.

The ‘Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights’ (TRIPS), signed on 1994 as a founding element of the World Trade Organization, represent the most important attempt to establish a global harmonization of Intellectual Property protection. The aim of this paper is to critically re-examine what has become the common wisdom around IPRs, TRIPS and their effects. We argue that supporters of IPRs in the Western corporations and governments as well as detractors in global movements and developing countries have both over- estimated their importance in the process of generation and diffusion of knowledge and innovation. On the basis of some key learnt lessons on the nature of innovation and technological change, we assess four theses about TRIPS and their impact on the global generation and distribution of knowledge. The policy implications concerning international organizations and technological transfer are finally discussed. 1 THE GLOBALIZATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS : FOUR LEARNT LESSONS AND FOUR THESES BULLETPOINTS For Summary • Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) have emerged as the key issue of global innovation policy: through the ‘Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights agreement’ (TRIPS), there is an attempt to impose worldwide a Western system of IPRs.

  • Cosmopolitan Democracy As Global Governance” by Chuck Rosenberg
    Note on “Cosmopolitan Democracy as Global Governance” by Chuck Rosenberg One of our study circle participants in New York, who is mother to a very aware 20-something and den-mother to several more, mentioned to them that she was looking deeply into One World and cosmopolitanism and global governance. Their response was, “Oh, great. The Davos crowd will run the world.” And of course that is a key objection, or at least grounds for skepticism, from many quarters…fear of an all-powerful supranational entity that will be in charge of everything, “for everyone’s good”. It need not be that way, but the shape of democratic global governance remains vague…how would full participation be attained? Would the ultimate solution supplant or augment existing instruments such as states or intergovernmental bodies? How do we get from where we are, with powerful nation-states dominating global decision-making and controlling the lion’s share of the world’s resources, to a peaceful, sustainable, and just future that puts the needs of all of the world’s citizens first? There are a group of thinkers who are working through this very problem—they include, notably but not only, Mary Kaldor, David Held, Richard Falk, and Daniele Archibugi. Of these, Archibugi is perhaps first among peers in developing the kind of analysis and advocating for the kind of incremental but substantive actions that would move us along the path toward a genuinely democratic system of global governance. Daniele Archibugi (Rome, 1958), an Italian social scientist, works on the economics and policy of technological change and on the political theory of international relations.

  • Global Democracy: Normative and Empirical Perspectives Edited by Daniele Archibugi, Mathias Koenig-Archibugi and Raffaele Marchetti Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19784-7 - Global Democracy: Normative and Empirical Perspectives Edited by Daniele Archibugi, Mathias Koenig-Archibugi and Raffaele Marchetti Frontmatter More information Global Democracy Democracy is increasingly seen as the only legitimate form of govern- ment, but few people would regard international relations as governed according to democratic principles. Can this lack of global democracy be justified? Which models of global politics should contemporary democrats endorse and which should they reject? What are the most promising pathways to global democratic change? To what extent does the extension of democracy from the national to the international level require a radical rethinking of what democratic institutions should be? This book answers these questions by providing a sustained dialogue between scholars of political theory, international law and empirical social science. By presenting a broad range of views by prominent scholars, it offers an in-depth analysis of one of the key challenges of our century: globalizing democracy and democratizing globalization. daniele archibugi is Research Director at the Italian National Research Council and Professor of Innovation, Governance and Public Policy at Birkbeck, University of London. mathias koenig-archibugi is Senior Lecturer in Global Politics in the Department of Government and the Department of Inter- national Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science. raffaele marchetti is Assistant Professor in International Relations

  • Daniele Archibugi Professor of Innovation, Governance and Public
    Daniele Archibugi Professor of Innovation, Governance and Public Policy at the University of London and Affiliated at the Institute on Population and Social Policy (IRPPS). Italy / UK "Today everybody is democratic. However, we live in a world where half of the countries are run by not democratic regimes, and in which even in consolidate democracies we got people which are highly unhappy for what democracy actually deliveries to the citizens. So we need to take action to be really democratic. " " The greatest challenge of the 21st century is to develop democracy at global level. Today we need to convince billions of people of the world that it is not a new form of domination by Western countries, but a method of government that will be able to deliver to them better well-being. " " We should prove that we are willing to share common decision making also with other people, making sure the decisions taken on environment, security, human rights are not only something that only western countries want to achieve, but citizens in all part of the world want to achieve. " Carne Ross Writer and Diplomat. Author of "The Leaderless Revolution", 2012. U.K / U.S. " I used to work in government, I was a british diplomat and I had disillusion with the idea of representative democracy as manifested in the west days. I think that the system had become corrupted and unrepresentative. And also for me it is participation that people themselves should be involved in making decisions about the things that matter to them, they are the best qualified and they have the greatest right to take decisions.
