It is a rare privilege to receive such a perceptive set of comments to Authority and the Globalisation of Inclusion and Exclusion (henceforth Authority, in italics) by Paul S. Berman, Ralf Michaels, Nicole Roughan, and Alexander Somek. I am grateful to all of them for their probing questions, which open up a space for renewed reflection about key issues broached in this book. Their concerns and suggestions will continue to command my attention well beyond this initial, tentative response.
