Abstract:
|
Official and academic commentators alike have often linked observations of an emerging global civil society and global public opinion to claims about an incipient democratization of world politics. Based on a discourse analysis of global civil society and world opinion in the context of the five major UN world conferences of the 1990s, this paper argues that this supposed democratization (or emergence of an international public sphere) is better understood in terms of a double movement: on the one hand, global civil society depoliticizes international governance with demands of human security, social development, and gender mainstreaming; on the other hand, the emerging international public sphere operates as a subsystem of world politics rather than opposing the system from outside. Hence, depoliticization itself is part of a political logic of international governance. The argument draws on Foucault's governmentality approach and Luhmann's systems theory. |
