<i>âOur increasingly connected and divided world is in dire need of global governance. Yet, global governance cannot provide the kind of outcomes we expect from local governance, such as leadership, legitimacy, accountability, or efficiency. Why is it so? How can this problem be addressed? This book is an essential resource for those who believe, as I do, that answers are both important and urgent.â</i>

Expert authors explore diverse global governance institutions and their interactions against the background of the proliferation of public, private, and hybrid organizations. Chapters investigate how norm contestation, the rapidly rising importance of private actors, and the influence of emerging powers are reshaping governance dynamics. They critique traditional, state-centered institutions and emphasize the need for sector-specific and issue-driven analyses accounting for both structural and systemic dimensions. Including case examples, and future research directions, the book equips readers with tools to navigate and understand the tensions and opportunities that shape global governance today.
This book is a crucial resource for scholars and students of international relations, international law, European and international studies, and global governance. Practitioners and policymakers in international organizations and other global governance institutions will also benefit from its practical and theoretical insights.
