'This volume provides state-of-the-art analysis of the new architecture of globalism and democracy. Eschewing fashionable obituaries for geography and the nation-state, the authors of this volume are sophisticated about the complex territoriality of contemporary political-economic and cultural change. Transnational Democracy is the thinking person's companion volume to the anti-globalization movement' - Neil Smith, City University of New York, USA'In an age of globalization and new supra-national forms of social, economic and political organization the geographic form of democracy is a pressing issue. In this book clearly articulated, fresh, stimulating, often exciting, arguments are brought to bear on this question in a compelling manner. For all those interested in the future of democracy and of the state, this is essential reading. It is an important and timely contribution to a debate of increasing importance' - Kevin Cox, Ohio State University, USA'Globalization is increasingly challenging the order of national political spaces. The contributors to this wide-ranging collection put forward ideas about how we might begin to rethink the future of democratic culture within a new transnational framework. A valuable contribution to one of the most critical debates of our time' - Kevin Robins, Goldsmiths College, UK
