Description

Explore a new legal-sociological perspective on contemporary democracy with this academic work from Cambridge University Press. This book offers a detailed revision of standard positions in democratic theory by examining how global legal norms impact the institutions of national states. Author Chris Thornhill presents a compelling argument regarding the evolution of governance. He suggests that the development of fully democratic and inclusive systems within national societies was often hindered by internal structural factors. Instead, the book demonstrates that inclusive patterns of democratic citizenship emerged through the foundation of global legal norms consolidated after 1945. This text is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the intersection of law and sociology. It provides a framework for understanding how international legal standards shape domestic democratic processes and the broader transformation of global governance systems.
