To clearly position global democracy as a new and realistic choice, the author contrasts it with four existing approaches to foreign policy:
--benevolent imperialism (the neoconservatives' agenda)
--nationalism (balance-of-power politics)
--multilateralism (support to the United Nations system)
--localism (the agenda of part of the global movement for social justice).
Contrary to what other authors on global governance would lead us to believe, Jacobs argues that participatory democracy should be considered a complement to, not a substitute for, representative democracy.
The author combines a critical review of political theory with a practitioner's analysis of what works in international affairs. Jacobs takes up issues like the crisis at the World Trade Organization, the development of the European Union, reform of the UN, climate change, the debate on “humanitarian wars,” nuclear proliferation in Iran, the growth of global activism, and the power of NGOs.
