Global Governance

1. Why is global governance multi-faceted?

Global governance is multifaceted in that it encompasses multiple and divergent
views on how a state should operate, as it is governed by multiple bodies,
including human rights, global market and commerce, justice and security, and
autonomy. Additionally, the global governance system is multifaceted, as it
encompasses a number of global governance domains, including security, justice,
human rights, development, trade, and finance. Global governance involves a
diverse range of actors, including intergovernmental organizations (IGOs),
multinational corporations (MNCs), international non-governmental organizations
(INGOs), as well as states and non-state actors (NSAs).
2. How do international organizations take on "lives of their own"?
International organizations acquire "lives of their own" when they establish new
entity states to meet a common problem. However, once constituted, the new entity
takes on a life of its own and cannot be entirely controlled by individual nations in
the interests of their own.
Additionally, they set the international agenda through mediating political
negotiations, offering a forum for political proposals, and serving as a mediator in
the building of coalitions. They facilitate member nations' cooperation,
coordination, and organization.
3. What are the challenges faced by the United Nations in maintaining
global security?
The United Nations faces numerous challenges in maintaining global security,
including threats from poverty, disease, and environmental degradation, threats
from interstate conflict, threats from violence and widespread human rights
violations, threats from within-state violations, threats from terrorism, threats from
organized crime, and threats from weapon proliferation.
