Global Governance

Global governance emerged as a concept more than two decades ago. Despite its relevance to key processes underlying the major public policy questions of our age, the contours of ‘global governance’ remain contested and elusive. This Research Collection seeks to clarify key trends and challenges in global governance by bringing together the leading scholarship on its different forms. Alongside an original introduction by the editors, the carefully selected contributions discuss key issues in relation to global governance institutions: democracy, legitimacy, accountability, fragmentation, effectiveness and dispute settlement.

These two volumes evidence that the study of global governance has already become complex and diverse, considering many important issues with very detailed attention. The fundamentals of how to approach and analyze current global governance problems can be found in the contributions to these volumes.' — Jacint Jordana, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals, Spain `The two volumes conveniently and usefully assemble key writings on key themes from the past two decades of global governance research.' — Jan Aart Scholte, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
