长期以来，民主的核心问题一直被理论化为如何对负责任地行使权力施加适当的限制。今天，这一问题在全球治理中最为尖锐。本文探讨了国际知识机构创建的迅速兴起，认为这些机构反映了国家和公众越来越多的努力，通过构建全球推理和审议过程的能力，对全球权力的行使进行民主约束。社会。具体而言，本文认为，有必要认真参加的过程中的知识，在国际机构，包括国际机构的作用，在制定标准的推理，他们的贡献，通过他们的工作，在分类和重新分类的国际话语的对象，并通过他们的作用，开放和限制参与国际审议。文章的结论是，政策相关知识的构建和部署是全球治理中的重要权力来源，需要接受自己的民主批判。
The central problem of democracy has long been theorized as how to place appropriate constraints on the responsible exercise of power. Today, this problem is most acute in global governance. This article examines the rapid rise in the creation of international knowledge institutions, arguing that these institutions reflect a growing effort by nations and publics to assert democratic constraints on the on the global exercise of power through their ability to structure processes of reasoning and deliberation in global society. Specifically, the article argues for the need to attend carefully to processes of knowledge-making in international institutions, including the roles of international institutions in setting standards for the exercise of reasoning, their contributions to the making of global kinds through their work in classifying and reclassifying the objects of international discourse, and through their roles in opening up and constraining participation in international deliberation. The article concludes that the construction and deployment of policy-relevant knowledge are a significant source of power in their own right in global governance that need to be subject to their own democratic critique.
