Democracy, the nation-state and the global system
Abstract
All too often democratic theory has taken the nation-state for granted, it has assumed that democracies can be understood largely by reference to the forces and actors within delimited territorial boudaries. This assumption is systematically questioned in an exploration of the interconnections between democracy and the global system. An enquiry is undertaken into the empirical adequacy of an account of democratic politics cast in terms of national politics, and a normative enquiry is subsequently made into the consequences for democracy of taking seriously regional and global interconnectediness. Guidelines are offered for rethinking democratic theory in an era in which the fates of particular nations and peoples are deeply intertwined.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
