Content
This unit is a critical examination of transnational aspects of global governance. It considers the ways that officials and activists attempt to promote cooperation and coordination between states, International Organisations and civil society in order to address global policy problems.
The first part of the unit considers the nature of transnational governance with respect to the formation and operation of transnational policy networks and transnational civil society by focusing upon the role of officials, experts and activists operating within global governance.
The second part of the unit examines the politics of transnational governance by focusing upon specific contemporary global policy problems related to the stability of global capitalism, the sustainability of the environment and the provision of social justice. It also considers how these transnational processes could be reformed to be more effective and accountable.
