Abstract
A democratic form of global governance would probably limit itself to addressing the small of critical problems that can only be solved at the global level, problems such as climate and recurrent global financial crises. The chapter briefly outlines the history of contemporary global governance, the multiple ways in which it has intersected with movements concerned with expanding democratic governance and discusses some of the ways in which innovation in global governance has taken place, all with an eye toward better aligning democratic practice and the need to create effective mechanisms to solve critical global problems.

A good starting point is James Carroll’s (2006) history of the US military since the Second World War, Daniel Deudney’s (2007, pp. 193–287) analysis of how republican security theory can provide a design for the global governance of weapons of mass-destruction and the industrial complexes that support them, and Cynthia Enloe’s (2007) use of feminist methodology to reveal the connections between globalization and militarism.
