Summary
Accepts the extant, fragmented system, and develops the idea that the counter factual ideal of deliberative democracy developed by Jurgen Habermas can provide the basis for thinking about the exercise of political authority beyond the state, and explores an alternative view of the nature and purposes of the modern system of international law.
