This volume explores what accounts for this divergence in architecture of governance institutions by identifying three modes of governance: hierarchies, networks, and markets. The authors apply these ideal types to different issue areas in order to assess how global governance has changed and why. In most issue areas, hierarchical modes of governance, established after World War II, have given way to alternative forms of organization focused on market or network-based architectures. Each chapter explores whether these changes are likely to lead to more or less effective global governance across a wide range of issue areas. This provides a novel and coherent theoretical framework for analysing change in global governance.
Global Governance in World of Change presents the work done at two STI Experts Meetings: “Transforming Global Governance,” (Barcelona, 2016) and “The Future of Global Governance.” (Geneva, 2018). The book has been edited by the Academic Leaders of both meetings: Michael Barnett (George Washington University), Jon Pevehouse (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Kal Raustiala (UCLA).
Cambridge University Press offers the work in several formats, including Open Access.
