This volume analyzes the impact of globalization on the concept of popular sovereignty, seeking to better understand the emerging structures of global governance and their potential for democratic legitimacy.

The author examines the consequences of the 2000 presidential election, the legitimacy of the Bush presidency, the issues of where sovereignty lies in the US, & what all this means for the forces of opposition in the US.
