GLOBAL GOVERNANCE
WHY DO WE NEED TO
STUDY GLOBAL
GOVERNANCE?
- it is necessary because humanity increasingly
faces both problems and opportunities that
are global in scale. - transnational problems such as violence and
pandemics routinely reach across borders,
affecting us all. - Effective global governance will allow us to
end armed conflict, deal with new and
emerging problems such as technological risks
and automation, and to achieve levels of
prosperity and progress never before seen
to provide global public goods,
particularly peace and security,
justice and mediation systems
for conflict, functioning
markets and unified standards
for trade and industry.
GOAL OF GLOBAL
GOVERNANCE
FUNCTIONS OF
GLOBAL
GOVERNANCE
Creating an international rule of law
Regulating the global economy and providing
global public goods
Redistribution at the international level
When states fail: a safety net for the most
vulnerable?
Changing the state from the outside
Accountability: any voice for the poor in
global governance?
Global governance can provide a ‘rule of law’ (whether
formally codified or not) at the international level, which can
protect the weak from the strong and provide a stable basis
for the development of international institutions
Creating an international rule of law
is a good that is non-rival. This means:
consumption of the good by one individual does not reduce
the amount of the good available for consumption by others
(EXAMPLE: if I walk under a street light, I do not reduce the
amount of light available to others)
public good
At the domestic level, many states attempt some
kind of redistribution from rich to poor, whether
through advanced systems of tax and benefits or by
simply providing free or subsidised basic services
to the poor.
Redistribution at the international level
the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ which asserts that the
international community has responsibilities to secure
individuals’ human rights when their state is actively or
negligently depriving them of these rights. The same
principle animates much humanitarian relief, international
refugee conventions etc.
When states fail: a safety net for the most
vulnerable
This function of the international system is the premise of
the conditionality applied by international institutions such
as the World Bank and IMF, of international efforts to
promote democracy and of some elements of the
international human rights regime.
Changing the state from the outside
Global governance institutions can create change within
states in:
First, international institutions can be a source of information and expertise –
encouraging states to change their policies or institutions via demonstration
effects and ‘peer pressure’.
* Second, international institutions can use international resources to ‘incentivise’
(or coerce) change in countries which need them.
* Third, international institutions can, in principle, enforce the international rule of
law by punitive means to force change on a state
Accountability in current institutions of global governance is
highly imperfect. There is no international democracy,
meaning that for the most part people are represented by
their states at the international level, but developing
countries are often excluded from decision-making
Accountability: any voice for the poor in
global governance?
international institutions have made some important
contributions to poverty reduction (e.g. international
redistribution through aid)

International Organizations and Power
Changes
international organizations operating in
regional integration (such as the EU) create
or at least move toward new nation-states
and do more than create the conditions for
national cooperation resulting to:
A. the reinforcement of the organization’s
power,
B. the national political processes decreases
Trade generates competition between the
products and services of different polities
which leads to a competition between the
regulatory frameworks to which those
products and services are subject. Meaning,
the products and services of the nation
needs to be competitive in the global market
but they need to protect domestic resources
or interests from this competition.
The Transfer of Power to the Market

decision-makers are chosen for office based on their
technical expertise and background

production, maximizing the efficiency and profitability of

cultures grow more alike
Culture convergence

themselves on other cultures

It refers to the economically disadvantaged nation-states and as a post cold war alternative to “Third World”.
The phrase “Third World” arose during the Cold War to identify the countries whose views did not align with NATO and capitalism or the Soviet Union and communism. The First World described countries whose views aligned with NATO and capitalism, aNd the Second World referred to countries that supported communism and the Soviet Union.
The Global South captures a deterritorialized geography of capitalism’s externalities and means to account for subjugated peoples within the borders of wealthier countries.
It refers to the resistant imaginary of a transnational political subject that results from a shared experience of subjugation under contemporary global capitalism.
