LOCAL POLITICS, GLOBAL IMPACTS
G LOBAL G OVERNANCE
Series editor: John J. Kirton, University of Toronto, Canada
Global governance is growing rapidly to meet the compounding challenges brought by a globalized twenty-first-century world. Many issues once dealt with largely at the local, national or regional level are now going global, in the economic, social and political-security domains. In response, new and renewed intergovernmental institutions are arising and adapting, multilevel governance is expanding, and sub-national actors play a greater role, and create complex combinations and private-partnerships to this end.
This series focuses on the new dynamics of global governance in the twenty-first century by:
Addressing the changes in the structure, operation and impact of individual intergovernmental institutions, above all their innovative responses to the growing global challenges they confront.
Exploring how they affect, are affected by and relate to non-state actors of global relevance and reach.
Examining the processes of co-operation, competition and convergence among international institutions and the many global governance gaps where global challenges such as terrorism, transnational crime and energy do not confront powerful international institutions devoted to their control.
Dealing with how global institutions govern the links among key issues such as climate change and health.
In all cases, it focuses on the central questions of how global governance institutions and processes generate the effective, legitimate, accountable results required to govern todays interconnected, complex, uncertain, crisis-ridden world.
