Q

WHY DO WE NEED TO
STUDY GLOBAL
GOVERNANCE?

A
  • it is necessary because humanity increasingly
    faces both problems and opportunities that
    are global in scale.
  • transnational problems such as violence and
    pandemics routinely reach across borders,
    affecting us all.
  • Effective global governance will allow us to
    end armed conflict, deal with new and
    emerging problems such as technological risks
    and automation, and to achieve levels of
    prosperity and progress never before seen

At the domestic level, many states attempt some kind of redistribution from rich to poor, whether through advanced systems of tax and benefits or by simply providing free or subsidised basic services to the poor.
Redistribution at the international level
26
the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ which asserts that the international community has responsibilities to secure individuals’ human rights when their state is actively or negligently depriving them of these rights. The same principle animates much humanitarian relief, international refugee conventions etc.
When states fail: a safety net for the most vulnerable
27
This function of the international system is the premise of the conditionality applied by international institutions such as the World Bank and IMF, of international efforts to promote democracy and of some elements of the international human rights regime.
Changing the state from the outside
28
Global governance institutions can create change within states in:
First, international institutions can be a source of information and expertise – encouraging states to change their policies or institutions via demonstration effects and ‘peer pressure’. * Second, international institutions can use international resources to ‘incentivise’ (or coerce) change in countries which need them. * Third, international institutions can, in principle, enforce the international rule of law by punitive means to force change on a state
29
Accountability in current institutions of global governance is highly imperfect. There is no international democracy, meaning that for the most part people are represented by their states at the international level, but developing countries are often excluded from decision-making

33
Trade generates competition between the products and services of different polities which leads to a competition between the regulatory frameworks to which those products and services are subject. Meaning, the products and services of the nation needs to be competitive in the global market but they need to protect domestic resources or interests from this competition.
