Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Global governance has evolved in a more democratic direction, as indicated by the abolition of slavery and formal colonialism and the establishment of a global human rights regime, though the latter is only partially institutionalized and enforced. The political ideal of democracy, despite continuing contestation about its meaning, has become increasingly adopted by the world's peoples and the existing institutions of global governance fair badly by comparison to even the most tepid definitions of democracy. The majority of the peoples of the Earth have little say over the existing institutions of global governance. Democracy within nation-states, though a laudable goal, does not add up to global democracy. Existing global governance institutions mainly reflect the outcome of World War II. This essay describes the long-term evolution of global governance over the past several centuries and puts contemporary proposals and movements that are seeking to democratize global governance in world historical perspective.
