Description
Rethinking Global Governance casts fresh eyes upon a once poignant but now languishing concept. Its purpose is to disrupt the simple association between global governance and the actions and activities of international organizations in the post-Cold War era. It focuses instead on a set of questions that probe the intricate and multifaceted manner in which the world is governed.
The book moves beyond the ubiquity and imprecision that has plagued the term and offers an intellectual framework with the potential to improve both thinking and practice.
Building on the analytical insights of two of the leading scholars in the field, Rethinking Global Governance provides an antidote to simplistic usage and an authoritative yet readable attempt to grasp the governance of our globe — past, present, and future.

Praised by Adekeye Adebajo of the University of Johannesburg as a must-read for students, scholars, and policy-makers, this volume offers unique knowledge on the critically important topic of global governance. Beth A. Simmons of the University of Pennsylvania highlights the book's insightful approach to power, authority, and change, urging readers to reconsider static institutions as the sole sources of global order. Foreign Affairs notes the book's timely call for renewed scholarly focus on international cooperation, challenging the current neglect of global governance discourse.
