Indeed, they are the driving force of a new form of democracy around the world.

In addition to the implied critique you raise here, there's another provided by in Boaventura de Sousa Santos and Cesar A. Rodriguez-Garavito, eds., Law and Globalization from Below: Towards a Cosmopolitan Legality (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2005), as well as some relevant material in Richard P. Appelbaum and William I. Robinson, eds., Critical Globalization Studies (New York: Routledge, 2005). Globally speaking, the new governance approach is flaccid in light of such multilateral economic institutions as the IMF, World Bank and the WTO, as well as the growing power of transnational corporations.
