Global governance has come under increasing pressure since the end of the Cold War. In some issue areas, these pressures have led to significant changes in the architecture of governance institutions. In others, institutions have resisted pressures for change. This volume explores what accounts for this divergence in architecture by identifying three modes of governance: hierarchies, networks, and markets. The authors apply these ideal types to different issue areas in order to assess how global governance has changed and why. In most issue areas, hierarchical modes of governance, established after World War II, have given way to alternative forms of organization focused on market or network-based architectures. Each chapter explores whether these changes are likely to lead to more or less effective global governance across a wide range of issue areas. This provides a novel and coherent theoretical framework for analysing change in global governance. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Reviews for Global Governance in a World of Change

'By far the best volume on the subject of global governance in decades.' John Gerard Ruggie, Berthold Beitz Research Professor in Human Rights and International Affairs, Harvard University 'Observers of global governance are like viewers of a kaleidoscope, eyes transfixed by novel patterns flashing before their eyes. Global Governance in a World of Change eschews parsimonious theory but seeks to help dazzled observers by using the concepts of hierarchy, markets, and networks to describe 'modes of governance.'' Robert O. Keohane, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University 'This edited volume features comprehensive and insightful analyses by leading scholars of how the modes of global governance have changed across policy areas as diverse as health, climate change, arms control, trade, and humanitarianism. Essential reading for anyone interested in the possibilities and limits of collective solutions to the world's most pressing problems.' Erik Voeten, Peter F. Krogh Professor of Geopolitics and Justice in World Affairs, Georgetown University 'This compelling, well-structured book provides a roadmap for studying changes in modes of global governance-hierarchy, networks, and markets-across issues, together with the factors that explain them. Conceptually tight, the book casts a new lens on global governance at this time of uncertainty, rapid change, and multifaceted, overlapping global problems.' Gregory Shaffer, Chancellor's Professor, University of California, Irvine School of Law
