Description
Global governance--governance for the world without world government--refers to cooperative problem-solving arrangements on a global plane. (1) These may be rules (laws, norms, codes of behavior) as well as constituted institutions and practices (formal and informal) to manage collective affairs by a variety of actors (state authorities, intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, private sector entities). Global governance thus refers to the complex of formal and informal institutions, mechanisms, relationships, and processes between and among states, markets, citizens, and organizations--both intergovernmental and nongovernmental--through which collective interests are articulated, rights and obligations are established, and differences are mediated. (2) Such global governance faces a fundamental paradox. The policy authority for tackling global problems and mobilizing the necessary resources is vested primarily at the country level, in states, while the source and scale of the problems and potential solutions to them are transnational, regional, and global. One result of this situation is that states have the capacity to disable decisionmaking and policy implementation by global bodies like the United Nations (UN), but they generally lack the vision and will to empower and enable global problem solving on issues such as environmental degradation, human trafficking, terrorism, and nuclear weapons.
