Preferred term

global publics and polis  

Definition

  • The terms polis and publics focus attention on goods that must be shared, on open communication, and on collective participation in choosing how to organize life together. They relate to a basic question in the era of globalization: to what extent citizens and even broader publics are able to organize collectively to make choices—or at least influence the choices of the powerful—in the face of global challenges.
