This book provides an accessible introduction to the current
debate about the changing form and political significance of global
governance. It brings together original contributions from many of
the best-known theorists and analysts of global politics to explore
the relevance of the concept of global governance to understanding
how global activity is currently regulated. Furthermore, it
combines an elucidation of substantive theories with a systematic
analysis of the politics and limits of governance in key issue
areas – from humanitarian intervention to the regulation of
global finance. Thus, the volume provides a comprehensive
theoretical and empirical assessment of the shift from national
government to multilayered global governance.
Governing Globalization is the third book in the internationally acclaimed series on global transformations. The other two volumes are Global Transformations: Politics, Economics and Culture and The Global Transformations Reader: An Introduction to the Globalization Debate.
