THE GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

 REFERS TO THE COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY,

UNDERSTAND, AND ADDRESS WORLDWIDE PROBLEMS
THAT GO BEYOND THE PROBLEM – SOLVING
CAPACITIES OF STATES (Weiss, 2010)

 THE CAPACITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM, AT

ANY GIVEN MOMENT TO PROVIDE GOVERNMENT-LIKE
SERVICES AND PUBLIC GOODS IN THE ABSENCE OF
WORLD GOVERNMENT. IT IS A COMBINATION OF
INFORMAL AND FORMAL IDEAS, VALUES, RULES,
NORMS, PROCEDURES, PRACTICES, POLICIES, AND
ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP ALL ACTORS-STATES,
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, NON-GOVERNMENT
ORGANIZATIONS – IDENTIFY, UNDERSTAND, AND
ADDRESS THE TRANSBOUNDARY PROBLEMS.

 GLOBAL GOVERNANCE IS NOT A SINGULAR SYSTEM.

THERE IS NO “WORLD GOVERNMENT” BUT THE MANY
DIFFERENT REGIMES OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE DO
HAVE COMMONALITIES.

 THE TERM GLOBAL GOVERNANCE IS SOMETIMES

REFERRED TO AS WORLD GOVERNANCE. GLOBAL IS A
MOVEMENT TOWARDS POLITICAL COOPERATION
AMONG TRANSNATIONAL ACTORS, NEGOTIATING
RESPONSES TO PROBLEMS THAT AFFECT MORE THAN
STATE OR REGION.
THE ROLE OF NATION-STATE IN GLOBALIZATION

BASIC ELEMENTS OF A STATE

1. TERRITORY
2. PEOPLE
3. SOVEREIGN POWER (the authority of a state to govern
itself)

NATION-STATE'S ROLE IN GLOBALIZATION IS COMPLEX.

SINCE NATION-STATES ARE DIVIDED BY PHYSICAL AND
ECONOMIC BOUNDARIES, REDUCED BARRIERS IN
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE AND COMMUNICATION ARE
CONSIDERED THEIR POTENTIAL THREAT. SOVEREIGNTY
OF INDIVIDUAL NATIONS IS NOT ABOLISHED BY EXPANDED
TRADE AMONG COUNTRIES, INSTEAD GLOBALIZATION IS A
FORCE THAT CHANGED THE WAY NATION-STATES DEAL
WITH ONE ANOTHER, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA OF
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE.

IN SETTING INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE POLICIES,

ISOLATED STATES ARE FORCED TO ENGAGE TO ONE
ANOTHER WHILE NATION-STATES DOMESTIC ROLE IS
UNCHANGED.

ROLES OF SOME STATES WERE DIMINISHED WHILE

OTHERS HAVE EXALTED ROLES TO INTERACTIONS OF
VARIOUS ECONOMIC BALANCES.
GLOBALIZATION’S IMPACT ON THE STATE

PROBLEMS AFFLICTING THE WORLD TODAY WHICH ARE

INCREASINGLY TRANSNATIONAL IN NATURE – THOSE THAT
CANNOT BE SOLVED AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL OR STATE
TO STATE NEGOTIATIONS.

 POVERTY
 ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
 ECONOMIC CRISIS
 ORGANIZED CRIME AND TERRORISM
 PANDEMICS
 CLIMATE CHANGE

DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES IN GLOBALIZATION IS

COMPLEX AS IT TAKES PLACE IN VARIOUS LEVELS SUCH
AS SUBNATIONAL, NATIONAL AND GLOBAL WHICH LEAD TO
THE GROWTH OF MULTI-LAYERED SYSTEM OF
GOVERNANCE.

GLOBAL GOVERNANCE SHIFTED FROM TRADITIONAL

TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGN STATE OR THE NATION-STATE
TO A MORE LOOSE STRUCTURES WARRANTING
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION, MOVEMENT, AND
RESPONSE, IN RESPONSE SEVERAL NON-STATE BODIES
CAME ABOUT INCLUDING THE UNITED NATIONS WITH THE
ULTIMATE GOAL OF INTERNATIONAL ACTION.
ONE IMPORTANT EXAMPLE OF NON-STATE ACTOR
PLAYING A VITAL ROLE IN THE WORLD'S AFFAIRS IS THE
UNITED NATIONS (UN).
