<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is an examination of how the democratic process is being changed by globalization and what citizens can do about it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This is an examination of how the democratic process is being changed by globalization and what citizens can do about it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Anyone who takes the politics of law seriously must read The Democracy Deficit to understand how legal neoliberalism rationalizes economic globalization at the expense of basic democratic values. With analytic rigor and passion, Aman also brilliantly shows how public values, embedded in domestic laws such as administrative law, are an arena and a resource for reshaping globalization.--Christine B. Harrington, New York University<br><br>Contributing significantly to the democracy deficit literature, Aman espouses a re-invigoarated citizenship through domestic law reform, and is, perhaps, surprisingly, sanguine about the future of the 'globalizing state-- "World Trade Review"<br><br>Offers a powerful analysis of the effects of globalization on local governance and a stunningly original strategy for responding to it through domestic law reform. The book's conclusion is critically important: domestic law reforms can shape the meaning of globalization in America and present a blueprint for more accountable globalization elsewhere. The book's powerful analysis and pathbreaking originality set scholarship on a new course and make this one of the best discussions of globalization ever.--Frank W. Munger, past president of the Law and Society Association<br><br>Students will appreciate the chance to get away from the cases and read a well-written, thought-provoking text that shows the continued relevance of administrative lawa in today's society.-- "The Law and Politics Book Review"<br>
