Conclusion II: The Modes and Dynamics of Global Governance

  • Chapter
New Modes of Governance in the Global System

Part of the book series: International Political Economy Series ((IPES))

Abstract

The chapters in this volume discuss a number of governance arrangements that do not conform to the classical model of cooperation between sovereign states. The proliferation of these ‘new’ governance structures supports those interpretations of world politics that envision the gradual emergence of a political order beyond the nation state. As political power and authority are partially transferred from individual governments to supranational and transnational governance arrangements, questions about the legitimacy of such arrangements are increasingly important not only for scholars interested in the normative foundations of the global order, but also for significant sections of the publics who are and feel affected by governance beyond the state. The first part of this Conclusion reconsiders the idea of global governance and places the findings of the individual chapters in the broader context. The second part focuses on the legitimacy problems raised by the ‘new’ modes of governance in the global system.
