Elect the Ambassador: Building Democracy in a Globalised World

This book argues for the democratisation of international government and rejects the idea that globalisation can or should be wound back and proposes a ten-point plan to transform the way we respond to it.

Identifies the problem of crucial decision-making being carried out by unelected bodies like the IMF and World Bank at the expense of democracy and accountablity. Includes tables and figures, notes, bibliography and index.

The author is a federal Labor MP and Opposition spokesperson on justice and customs, population, immigration, multicultural affairs, the environment, and the arts. He served as Attorney General and minister for Justice in the Keating Labor government.
