What is global governance
Global governance regulates global economic and political systems by setting up rules countries and companies should follow
International Institutions are designed to provide growth(improving the economy or society) and stability(making sure there are no sudden changes in the economy or society)
The World Trade Organisation aims to increase global trade through common rules-more trade leads to economic growth and rules make trade more predictable, increasing stability. The World Bank gives development loans to less developed countries to increase their economic growth
The World Health Organisation (WHO) combats epidemics (eg, the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which increases social stability. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) helps to ensure the benefits of scientific advances are shared amongst all countries.
NGO’s
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) also operate on a range of scales to monitor and support institutions. For example, some NGOs lobby for national governments to create laws, e.g. Greenpeace campaign for more environmental protection, whilst others act at a local scale, e.g. helping communities gain access to safe water.
