 Global
Governance in the
Twenty First
Century
 There is a series of specific factors behind the emergence of
global governance
 The first must be declining powers of nation-state
Four Evidence
1. The national governance increasing the face of the problem
that are too big for them to handle.
2. The united nation and the universal problem in
human right?

3. Global social movements or the green

movements.

4. Limited power of the nation that could to create a

great change.
 The vast flows of all sort things that run
into and often right through the boarders
of nation-states
Example: Great firewall of china
Another set of issues that has led to calls for global
governance involves horrendous events within nation-
states that the states themselves either foment and carry
out, or are unable to control (Nordstrom, 2004%

One could even go back to WWII and argue that the

Holocaust could have been prevented, or at least mitigated.
had there been a viable form of global governance to put
pressure on Nazi Germany and ultimately, to intervene in a
more material way, perhaps militarily (Bauman, 1998)
 Global problems, such as financial crises and panic, are
often unaddressable by individual nation-states, making
them unable to effectively tackle these issues.
 Some nations, often victims of crises, require assistance
from global governance to help themselves and recover from
the harm they have caused.
 Nation-states have historically grappled with issues through
interstate systems like NATO, but a recent trend is towards
developing global structures and methods for addressing
diverse issues.
 Effects of Globalization to Governments
Globalization has brought challenges to governments in
maintaining their autonomy. These challenges can be grouped into
four categories: traditional challenges, national or identity
movements, global economics, and global social movements.
Governments must address conflicts within their borders, navigate
the demands of diverse groups, adapt to the global economy, and
respond to global social movements. Balancing these challenges is
crucial for effective governance and meeting the needs of their
citizens in a globalized world.
globalization has both positive and
negative effects on governments. It can
lead to economic growth and increased
opportunities, but it can also lead to social
inequalities, tension, and a decrease in the
government's ability to provide social
insurance. Governments must find a
balance in managing these effects to ensure
the best outcomes for their citizens.
 Traditional Challenges
The global interstate system often faces challenges,
one of which is external intervention by other
countries. An example of this is Saddam Hussein’s
invasion of Kuwait in 1990, where he sought to take
over the oil fields. However, an international coalition
led by the United States intervened and removed him
from power. In more recent times, we can observe
Russia’s intervention in Ukraine.
Russia has intervened in the affairs of Ukraine,
particularly in Crimea, a region that wants to become part
of Russia despite being part of Ukraine. This has created a
conflict between Ukraine, which does not recognize
Crimea’s sovereignty, and Russia, which is does not
recognize Ukraine’s Sovereignty over Crimea. This
situation highlights the complexities of national identity
and autonomy within a country.
Internal political challenges, such as fundamentalist
government in Egypt post-Arab Spring and Taliban's
control efforts in Afghanistan, along with civil war in
Syria and Sudan, led to interventions like military
coups and UN involvement in Greece's debt crisis,
highlighting the complexity of maintaining stability
and state autonomy.
Challenges from National/Identity Movements
it's important to know that a nation has cultural Identity
that people has been attached to, State is a definite entity
due to specific boundaries, however different people with
identities can live in different ways.

Example : the Kurd and the Catalans

The next challenges are part of national identify or
movements. it is important to know that a nation has
cultural identify that people attached to, while a state
is a definite entity due to its specific boundaries.
however different people with different identities can
live in different states.
