Abstract

This introduction to the symposium "Envisioning a More Democratic Global System," held at Widener University School of Law in the spring of 2006, provides a conceptual overview of symposium papers published in Volume 13:2 of the Widener Law Review. The papers fall into two groups. As a reference point for understanding how the democratization of the international system can occur, the first group examines the process of democratization at the national level. The second group of papers forward and assess specific proposals for democratizing the global system with a particular emphasis on the proposal for a global parliament.

Papers discussed in the introduction are from: Daniele Archibugi, Director, Italian National Research Council; Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University and Visiting Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara; Greg Fox, Professor, Wayne State University School of Law; Thomas Franck, Professor Emeritus, New York University School of Law; Zaid Ibrahim, Member, Parliament of Malaysia; Robert Johanson, Director, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame; David Kennedy, Professor, Harvard Law School; Heraldo MuïFFDoz, Permanent Representative of Chile to the United Nations; Kinhide Mushakoji, Professor, Osaka University of Economics and Law; Chandra Muzaffar, President, International Movement for a Just World; Heikki Patomaki, Professor, University of Helsinki; Kimon Valaskakis, President, The New School of Athens.
