Global Governance in Crisis

Global Governance in Crisis

New practices and institutions of global governance are often one of the most enduring consequences of global crises. The contemporary architecture of global governance has been widely criticized for failing to prevent the global financial crisis and Eurozone debt crises for failing to provide robust international crisis management and leadership and for failing to generate a consensus around new ideas for regulating markets in the broader public interest. Global Governance in Crisis explores the impact of the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 on the architecture and practice of contemporary global governance and traces the long-term implications of the crisis for the future of the global order. Combining innovative theoretical approaches with rich empirical cases the book examines how the impact of the global financial crisis has played out across a range of global governance domains including development finance and debt trade and security. This book was published as a special issue of Global Society.

As states and regions become more interconnected the politics of health are increasingly relevant to the sustainable future envisioned by global governance. This book explains how considerations of global health have come to inform and infuse the United Nations development agenda. It identifies processes actors institutions and interactions in global health by analysing two related case studies: the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals. Providing an overview of and insights about the context of global development thinking and practice the subtleties of global health and global health governance this book is an innovative contribution to the literature. It is suitable for students and scholars of global health development studies and international relations. | Health Norms and the Governance of Global Development The Invention of Global Health

Global Business Associations

Global business tends to be perceived as a number of individual but powerful multinational corporations capable of controlling markets and influencing political decisions; in fact global business is highly organized through a plethora of associations that bring together competing companies and conflicting national businesses.

This book fills a significant gap in the current literature examining the pivotal role of global business associations and providing a concise and accessible overview of their different functions in a range of institutional contexts.
