Governance is a broad term. While it suggests governments create rules and make decisions, the term also implies that rule-making and decision-making might take other forms such as private authority, community-based direct democracy, or partnerships between non-governmental organizations, states, and global centers of authority. Globalization and its pressures for integration and interdependence on the one side and autonomy and its pressures for self-rule and self-determination on the other raise questions about governance on a global scale. Global governance is concerned with studying these questions.

Read ArticleThis volume begins with the recognition that global ordering through the reconfiguration of existing sites of authority, the dissolution of others, and the creation of new ones encompasses a wide range of institutions. It focuses on the possibilities of evolving forms of authority that steer behaviour toward outcomes deemed sufficiently just and efficient to be stable, under the twin conditions of pressures for global integration and demands for autonomy.
