Global governance

You will examine the problems and possibilities of governing issues and process in global politics.

We will  map the emergence of international organisations and instruments involved in governing global life and look at theoretical debates of how we can explain and understand global governance.

You will consider the relationship between processes of globalisation and regionalisation, as well as the function of global civil society in addressing the democratic and representation concerns of global governance.

We will pursue these issues through a series of case studies – hiv/aids, corruption, internal displacement, and the rwanda genocide – which examine the origins, operations, practice, and effectiveness of attempts at global governance.
