In an age marked by global hegemony and festering civilization clashes, Fred Dallmayr''s Achieving Our World charts a path toward a cosmopolitan democracy respectful of local differences. Dallmayr draws upon and develops insights from a number of fields: political theory, the study of international politics, recent Continental philosophy, and an array of critical cultural disciplines to illustrate and elucidate his thesis. In Achieving Our World, Dallmayr contends that a genuinely global and plural democracy and ''civic culture'' is the only viable and promising path for humankind in the new millennium.

Industry Reviews

...globalization navigates a path that weaves in and out, between and through, standard categories and false dichotomies. What distinguishes Achieving Our World and Dallmayr's work more generally is the extraordinary care with which he undertakes the journey. Dallmayr writes about globalization from another place, with another spirit. He tells the story of mediations as a mediator, but without compromise on principles.--American Political Science Review
