Abstract

This course is designed to provide an overview on global governance and to understand its conceptualisation through the interdisciplinary perspective of international law, international relations, and international organisations. Through the multidimensional lens, global governance is conceived as a framework of analysis to study the complexity of global processes involving multiple actors that interact at different levels of interest aggregation. We look at the origins, definitions, and characteristics of global governance; analyse the establishment of different international regimes and examine different thematic areas of governance practices and interactions on the global area; discuss the different conceptual inquiries and innovations; examine the specific of problem-solving arrangements and mechanisms of hard rules of international law and treaties, and soft law of communiqués and declarations.
