Summary/Abstract

Daniel Deudney's impressive reformulation of republican security theory has rightly garnered a great deal of attention from scholars of international politics. However, a close examination of Deudney's theory reveals that it rests on a series of weaknesses. His defense of a novel form of world state depends on a one-sided interpretation of state sovereignty according to which it functions chiefly as a protective device against external foes, an idiosyncratic rereading of modern republican theory and the US framers, and a highly tendentious view of US history. Notwithstanding his noteworthy attempt to break free from the insularity of US political and intellectual life, Deudney reproduces some elements of it.

Summary/Abstract

This article contends that the 'G' system struggles to play a legitimate and effective role in global governance and argues that the G20 could play a important role if the forum was more publically accountable. This article argues that because of increasing forms of public contestation, the broadening agenda of the G8 and G20 and the uncertain status of global cooperation, that the legitimacy of the 'G' system is being questioned. As such, it is appropriate to consider deliberative avenues whereby public views could be considered by the G20 in a systematic way to foster forms of accountability. This consideration is animated by deliberative democracy theory and republican theory which advance a normative agenda which seeks to transform governance structures by enhancing the role of deliberation and public reasoning in political life. The article outlines the development of the 'G' system's legitimacy, considers possible modes of accountability and public involvement with respect to the G20 and examines the implications of more formalised public deliberation with respect to the G20.
