The Broken Promise of Global Advocacy
Inequality in Global Interest Representation
About this book
The Broken Promise of Global Advocacy addresses two key normative debates associated with the rise of transnational advocacy: whether global interest communities are biased in favor of wealthier countries; and whether the growth of global advocacy implies the emergence of a global civil society truly representative of global constituencies.
The authors address these important debates using original data drawn from a large-scale project which maps all organized interests participating in two international venues: the World Trade Organizations Ministerial Conferences (1995ā2017) and the United Nations Climate Summits (1997ā2017). They leverage this unique dataset to carry out a systematic empirical assessment of contending views on the factors driving the rise of transnational advocacy. In doing so, the book demonstrates that cross-national differences in global interest representation largely mirror states' economic power, and that global interest communities are likely to remain dominated by organizations representing nationalārather than globalāinterests.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars working in comparative politics, public policy, governance, international relations, and international political economy.
