Abstract

Who is entitled to contribute to rulemaking at the international or transnational levels? "Rethinking Participation in Global Governance takes an empirical tack," confronting the important and understudied—but methodologically confounding—question of how effectively to improve the representativeness of global governance. The volume’s carefully constructed qualitative studies offer a wealth of insights but few systematic or easily generalizable answers. Nevertheless, the book has much to offer, describing models and techniques to expand participation, offering examples of how various actors in the Global South were able to make use of them, then embedding this description in the push and pull of a scholarly conversation over the efficacy and normative desirability of these reforms.
