%X In this article, I consider the connection between globalisation and democracy with respect of (1) the historical ¡®waves¡¯ of democratisation and the (global) spread of ¡®democratic¡¯ system of political rule, and (2) the debate on a reformulation of democratic rule ¡®in the age of globalisation¡¯, and the concerns with global civil society, global governance and ¡®cosmopolitan democracy¡¯ in particular. Linking these two parts are considerations of the question as to whether a universal entitlement to democratic governance is emerging as a right in international law.
