Commonwealth

Focuses on the logic of institutions and the models of governance adequate to our understanding of a global commonwealth. This book argues for the idea of the 'common' to replace the opposition of private and public and the politics predicated on that opposition.

It is certain to appeal to, challenge, and enrich the thinking of anyone interested in questions of politics and globalization.
