“…Others point to exciting developments in local arenas (e.g., Baiocchi 2005;Fung and Wright 2003). Some scholars are asking what democracy might mean beyond the state (e.g., Archibugi and Held 1995;Held 1995;Morrison 2004) and some call our attention to the varied ways human beings have organized their affairs independently of states (Bamyeh 2009). Political scientists are beginning to examine how the presumption that the state was the relevant arena has shaped centuries of discussion of democracy thus far (Goodhart 2005).…”

The conceptual field for discussions of democracy has generally been territorially delimited. For ancient democracy, the territory was that of a city-state; for modern democracy, a nation-state. Although since the late eighteenth century modern democracy has been in many ways quite a different set of institutions and practices from ancient democracy and although modern democracy has continually undergone significant change, the notion of delimited territoriality has remained a central assumption. In the early twenty-first century, however, there are many reasons to anticipate a major conceptual shift. The web of transnational connection, the development of transnational structures of decision making (from the european union to the International monetary Fund), and the vast disparity of wealth and power among nationstates are calling into question the democracy in them.

“…Support for the EU and self‐identification as ‘European' entails a cosmopolitan stance to the extent that it legitimizes a supranational authority (Held, ; Kuhn et al, ). In this context, Archibugi (, p.219) adequately portrays the EU as ‘the first international model, which begins to resemble the cosmopolitan model'. Importantly, again, cosmopolitan preferences do not obliterate other embedding; rather, individuals can identify with a variety of communities, including the national.…”

“…Against this background, we argue that in‐group and out‐group dynamics play a central role in explaining opinion formation on immigration, especially in the context of the EU. One perspective here posits that regional integration projects are a first step toward the construction of broader communities with open and universalistic values (Archibugi, ; Eriksen, ). Eller et al .…”

Regional Integration Support: A Positive Externality toward Migration Attitudes

Public opinion in favor of regional unification is usually seen as key for successfully implementing such integration projects. We argue that, as a positive externality, it can also foster support for migration. Focusing on the case of Europe, we use in‐group and out‐group dynamics as a starting point and claim that citizens who are more supportive of EU unification tend to have dual‐identity and more cosmopolitan attitudes, which is linked to more support for migration from outside the region. We employ hierarchical models using all existing rounds of the European Social Survey and complement this with a panel‐data analysis based on the German Longitudinal Election Data to exploit the individual‐level evolution of attitudes over time. The empirical findings strongly support the theoretical expectations, and they shed new light on our understanding of how public attitudes toward migration are formed.

“…In the earlier treatises on cosmopolitan democracy, GCS is one of the agents, as well as an object, of global democratization, which takes places in both political and social realms constrained by a framework of cosmopolitan democratic law (Held 1995; Archibugi 1998). Cosmopolitan democracy is a system of overlapping authorities (Held 1995:137) in which GCS provides space for voluntary associations and political participation at the national, regional, and global level.…”

For over a decade, scholars have been studying and debating the role and influence of non‐state actors in democratizing global politics. The sheer volume of studies calls for assessing the current state of this area of research. It also invites systematic analysis of differences in the collected evidence on outcomes of the democratizing efforts of global civil society associations. In this review, I (1) expound the concept of global civil society and point to definitional dilemmas surrounding this term; (2) propose a new analytical framework for examining an association between global civil society and democratization; (3) apply the proposed framework for assessing the findings of empirical studies; (4) discuss the nature of differences and the sources of discord in the analysts’ conclusions; and (5) make recommendations for advancing our knowledge in this important area of research. A principal theme that runs throughout this essay is that the field of global civil society and democratization has ample avenues for further conceptual, theoretical, and empirical work. Our ability to speak credibly of global civil society as a viable democratizing force would be improved with the development of empirical theory, conceptual elaboration, and more rigorous methodologies of research.
