Abstract

The article discusses the Reform-Act model of democracy which neo-conservatives strive to impose on the world. The emphasis given by the model to fully-enfranchised electoral democracy is said to characterize discussions of how to democratize international institutions. With treaties, sovereign states negotiate among themselves, while jus cogens does not require the consent of any particular state to be legally binding.
