What is the difference between global government and global governance?

Global government could be described as a single global body whose aims and goals are clearly set to
govern other actors. Being a governing body, it has ties with other states but does not have a horizontal
power relationship with them.

Global government is not a process it is an actual body or organization, whereas governance is a

dynamic process with various actors and power balances. —the United Nations, the International
Criminal Court, the World Bank, etc.

Is there really a such a thing as global government?

There is no current global government whereas there are different forms of global governance.

Are national governments are responsible in the global affairs?

Yes, the global affairs may refer also to international relations which a country involved in an
organization or institutions.

and relationships of institutions and governments?

International relation become more clouded with ambiguous conflicts and dilemmas with the
emergence of competitive nationalism among the rich and poor countries.

3. Describe the different political systems of an international governance. Provide examples of

countries for the different systems of politics.
Democracy is a form of government in which the citizens create and vote for laws directly, or indirectly
via representatives (democratic republic).

Politics of Malaysia takes place in the framework of a federal representative democratic constitutional
monarchy, in which the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is head of state and the Prime Minister of Malaysia is the
head of government. Executive power is exercised by the federal government and the 13 state
governments.

Totalitarianism a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete
subservience to the state.

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The political system of the Soviet Union took place in a federal single-party soviet socialist republic
framework which was characterized by the superior role of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
(CPSU), the only party permitted by the Constitution.

4. Examine the current state of political layers of global affairs today . How can the distribution of
powers among nations be described?

Current global governance arrangements favour flexibility over rigidity, prefer voluntary measures to
binding rules and privilege partnerships over individual actions. This synopsis of the state of global
governance examines the evolving role that sovereignty and the enduring human struggles for power
and equity are playing in shaping international relations and governance. This contribution argues that
individual empowerment, increasing awareness of human security, institutional complexity,
international power shifts and the liberal world political paradigm will define the future of global
governance. This article is published as part of a thematic collection dedicated to global governance.

5. Discuss the roles of international political organizations and institution s in globalizations. How do
these organizations affect the relationships of countries?

Discuss the roles of international political organizations and institution s in globalizations.

The role of international organizations is helping to set the international agenda, mediating political
bargaining, providing a place for political initiatives and acting as catalysts for the coalition- formation.
They facilitate cooperation and coordination among member nations

How do these organizations affect the relationships of countries?

They move on to address important global issues where international institutions play a significant role.
These include trade and FDI in relation to the WTO, and the reconciliation of order and justice in the
international trading system.

This organization creates greater opportunities for firms in less industrialized countries to tap into more
and larger markets around the world. Thus, businesses located in developing countries have more
access to capital flows, technology, human capital, cheaper imports, and larger export markets.
