Abstract

The following text corresponds to chapter 15 of Gould, Carol C., Interactive Democracy. The Social Roots of  Global Justice, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2014. The author pursues a dual objective: to deepen democracy and increase the protection of Human Rights as a way of dealing with problems of global justice such as the increasing economic inequality and poverty. Her challenge is to find ways to address both fronts from local, regional and global levels. This paper sheds new light on how the development of regional forms of democracy bounded by regional human rights agreements constitutes an important, and often forgotten focus for normative theory.
