Rationale
Global governance is intended to fill an important gap in understanding the purpose, function, and policy agendas of key non-state institutions in exercising governing authority internationally, whether in collaboration or in competition with sovereign states. Though some argue that states remain the institutional pillars of power and authority in the world today, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations wield increasing influence, power, and authority. The course critically examines the justifications for and consequences of these competing sources for global power and influence.
