CONTEMPORARY

GLOBAL
GOVERNANCE
• Global governance or world governance is a movement
towards political cooperation among transnational
actors, aimed at negotiating responses to problems that
affect more than one state or region. Institutions of
global governance—the United Nations, the
International Criminal Court, the World Bank, etc.—
tend to have limited or demarcated power to enforce
compliance. Global governance involves multiple states
including international organizations with one state
having more of a lead role than the rest.
• The modern question of world governance exists in
the context of globalization and globalizing regimes
of power: politically, economically and culturally.
In response to the acceleration of worldwide
interdependence, both between human societies
and between humankind and the biosphere, the
term "global governance" may name the process of
designating laws, rules, or regulations intended for
a global scale.
• While the contemporary system of global political
relations is not integrated, the relation between the
various regimes of global governance is not
insignificant, and the system does have a common
dominant organizational form. The dominant mode of
organization today is bureaucratic rational—regularized,
codified and rational. It is common to all modern
regimes of political power and frames the transition
from classical sovereignty to what David Held describes
as the second regime of sovereignty—liberal
international sovereignty.
