Description
Summary:	The world is increasingly characterized by transnational interdependence, cross-border policy externalities, and the widely perceived need to provide certain global collective goods and to avoid global collective bads. In these cases, the need for "global governance," that is, the challenge to make good collective decisions and to coordinate actions transnationally, is more pressing than ever. Here, List and Koenig-Archibugi present an agency-based approach on determining whether there can be a global demos for the scenario.
