Dear Friend/Colleague,
‘Global governance brings together diverse actors to coordinate collective action at the level of the planet. The goal of global governance, roughly defined, is to provide global public goods, particularly peace and security, justice and mediation systems for conflict, functioning markets and unified standards for trade and industry’. Although issues in relation to global governance have increasingly been considered as important, particularly with role of the United Nations since 1945, global governance is ‘fragmented, complex and little understood’.
