Global Discord: Values and Power in a Fractured World Order
by Paul Tucker
In his first book, Unelected Power: The Quest for Legitimacy in Central Banking and the Regulatory State, Paul Tucker looked at the political legitimacy of non-elected bodies in democratic states, with a primary focus on central banks. This latest book looks at comparable problems in the international sphere. Can democratic countries interact and cooperate with non-democratic countries in developing and managing international institutions, particularly international financial institutions? Tucker explores the historical and philosophical background to current problems and confusions in this area and sets out principles that can underpin democratic support for international political and financial architecture.
