Hans Agné, Professor of Political Science, Stockholm University, Sweden<i>‘</i>Democratism: Explaining International Politics with Democracy Beyond the State<i> is a truly remarkable and ambitious book. It argues that democratism affects almost all outcomes in world politics and international policy processes. It is a most important theoretical contribution to IR, and it develops a fresh perspective on the concept of democracy – both on a very high level.’ </i>

Transcending the conventional limitations of domestic politics in empirical studies, Agné presents novel ways of thinking about democracy, reconstructing received normative theories of democracy in global and international politics into an innovative framework for causal explanation. Rigorously testing this framework both empirically and theoretically, this book goes to the very heart of contemporary political issues, illustrating new solutions to problems of inequality, social recognition, global governance, environment politics and human rights protections.
Opening up new avenues for exploring contemporary paradigms in international studies, this book is crucial reading for scholars and students of political science, particularly those interested in democratic and international theory. It will also benefit policymakers and political analysts, offering a wealth of new ideas concerning the key drivers of modern democratic politics and critical insights for changing its direction.
