“…(Observation notes intervention of Ellen, the Women's Major Group's coordinator, at a dinner meeting, Sendai,16.03.15) While the literature in international relations has acknowledged civil society's presence, impact, and role in international organizations and global governance more broadly (Charnovitz 1996;Otto 1996;Gordenker and Weiss 1997;Trent 2007;Schwartzberg 2013;Tallberg et al 2013;Anheier 2018), the extract above points to a rather ambivalent role the United Nations (UN) maintains with civil society.…”

Studying the inclusion of civil society in international organizations has grown in the last decade. This article repatriates the ongoing scholarly discussions of this inclusion within organizational sociology to answer what the nature of civil society is as an organization at the United Nations. With “temporary organizations” it proposes a relational perspective whereby civil society’s temporariness induces mechanisms of exclusion and vice-versa. In practice civil society actors counter exclusion mechanisms by holding on to their autonomy.

Made-to-Measure Future(s) for Democracy?

There is no doubt whatsoever that the current political structure of world society does not correspond to the objective needs of humanity as a whole. Issues that assume global dimensions can only be suitably addressed by means of a public authority whose power, constitution and means of action are also of a global dimension. In this sense, it is logical to consider the prospect of, or need for, a world government. However, the fact of taking politics onto the global stage should not entail the dissolution of democratic politics or, in other words, the loss of fundamental rights and freedoms, constitutional guarantees, citizenship or public space within our societies. This is one of the great challenges currently facing us, which obliges us to invent another form or other forms of democracy more in tune with the global era. The search for some kind of response to this challenge is, indeed, the fundamental requirement of this study.
