This work explores the interrelationship between democracy and regional integration. Although centred in Europe, the volume shifts terms of discussion on integration and democracy by including case studies outside of Europe. It also analyzes the European Union's democratic deficit, the impact of regional integration of national democracy, and the dynamic interactions between democracy and integration elsewhere in the world.

This critical analysis of long-term trends and recent developments in world systems examines such questions as: Will the cycles of boom and bust, peace and war of the past 500 years continue? Or have either long-term trends or recent changes so profoundly altered the structure of world systems that these cycles will end or take on a less destructive form? The noted international contributors to this volume examine the question of future dominance of the core global systems and include comprehensive discussions of the economic, political and military role of the Pacific Rim, Japan and the former Soviet Union.

"J'espère qu'à travers un parcours jalonné tantôt par une action modeste et militante, tantôt par une participation importante aux événements, le lecteur bénéficiera d'un supplément de clarté sur notre histoire commune. Il verra, tout au moins je l'espère, que certaines des innovations que j'ai proposées sont toujours d'une brûlante actualité et, pour certaines, porteuses d'avenir." (J.D.).
