"For all those interested in the difficult but urgent question of how to decouple the public sphere from its national limitations, the critical debate represented in this book is by far the best starting-point. Anyone who reads the whole debate will undergo a true learning process - a judgement that can be made about very few books!"Axel Honneth, Columbia University, New York, and Goethe University, Frankfurt “Transnationalizing the Public Sphere is a central reading for students and scholars in the fields of media and social movements.”LSE Review of Books "Nancy Fraser has long been one of the most original voices in interdisciplinary social and political theory. Here she brings new perspectives to the basic question of whether democracy and public engagement can be effective beyond the increasingly problematic containers of nation-states."Craig Calhoun, London School of Economics and Political Science
