Description

Global Governance: Why? What? Whither? In a world without a central authority, how do we explain order and stability? This thought-provoking book examines "global governance" - the informal and formal values, norms, procedures, and institutions that help states, organisations, and individuals address trans-boundary problems. The growing number of global threats, from climate change to terrorism, highlights the need for a more effective international framework. Thomas G. Weiss argues that a better understanding of global governance can help us identify its strengths and weaknesses, and potentially find ways to improve it.
