- 3. Global governance pertains to a way for different countries and organizations to work together to solve big problems that affect the whole world. It resembles a large group effort where everyone participates in finding solutions. Global government enables us to collaborate more successfully, whether it is managing diseases that are spreading across continents or establishing standards for fair trade between nations. Global Governance
- 4. Importance of Global Governance Since a single nation cannot effectively address many of the problems facing us today, such as terrorism, pandemics, and climate change, having global governance is important. To solve these problems, we must collaborate and unite our efforts globally.
- 5. Global governance involves cooperation among various actors to address challenges that go beyond national borders. • International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) - set the rules and make sure countries play fair. • Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) - are groups of regular people who work on specific problems like human rights, the environment, or poverty. NGOs keep an eye on everyone and make sure they're doing the right thing. • Transnational Corporations (TNCs) - bring money, technology, and jobs, but they also need to be responsible for their impact on people and the planet.
- 6. Benefits of Global Governance: • Addressing Global Challenges/Solving Big Problems • Promoting Peace and Security • Facilitating Trade and Economic Growth/Making Trade Easier • Protecting Human Rights • Fostering Innovation and Collaboration
- 7. Challenges of Global Governance: • Diverse Opinions • Power Imbalances/Some Have More Power • Complexity and Fragmentation • Lack of Enforcement Mechanisms/ Not Enough Rules • Sovereignty Concerns
- 8. Since the end of the Cold War, the world is heading toward a less centralized form of governance. As the United States is facing serious setbacks in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, many emerging powers such as China, Russia, and Brazil have formed regional alliances to create a multipolar and anti-hegemonic order. The uncertainty of Sovereign Territorial State or Non-State
- 9. MULTIPOLAR - Consider a pole as a stronghold or source of authority. A multipolar world is one in which some powerful and prominent nations or groups control many of the decisions made. ANTI-HEGEMONIC ORDER - is a system where power is distributed evenly among different countries or groups, promoting a more equal and cooperative approach, avoiding the dominance of one group. The Uncertainty of Sovereign Territorial State or Non-State
- 10. This is in stark contrast to the kind of political entity that determined our lives: the sovereign territorial state or "nation-state." Most Western countries have lived under this kind of state since the late 18th century or possibly earlier. This kind of state has become the universal framework of social development. However, after centuries of serving as an example to most, if not all sovereign countries, this kind of state is entering a phase of uncertainty. The Uncertainty of Sovereign Territorial tate or Non-State
- 11. • Continuous and broken territory (preferred): This means that the land belonging to a nation-state is connected and not scattered. • Sovereign territory: Sovereign territory refers to the idea that a nation-state has full control over its own land. • The state has the monopoly both of law and of the powers of coercion: This means that the nation-state is the only authority allowed to create and enforce laws within its borders. The notion of "nation-state" has the following elements:
- 12. • The national state rules its citizens or subjects directly and not through intermediate authorities: In a nation-state, the central government governs its people directly, without any other groups or organizations in between. • Direct government and administration of inhabitants by the central authorities of the "nation-state": The central government of the nation-state is responsible for directly managing and administering its people. The notion of "nation-state" has the following elements:
- 13. • The state is considered to represent the people and the people serve as a source of sovereignty or at least give the state legitimacy: In a nation-state, the government is seen as speaking for its citizens and derives its power and authority from them. • The citizenry was or ought to form a homogenous population: The people living in the nation-state are expected to share common characteristics such as culture, language, and identity. The notion of "nation-state" has the following elements:
- 14. Non-State Actors A non-state actor is a group or individual who is not associated with, directed by, or supported by a government. Non-state actors have the ability to manage massive political and geographical power, and also participate in and act on international issues. Non-state actors have considerable power to influence and effect change throughout the world.
- 15. The Rise of Non-State Actors The increasing number of non-state actors has resulted in more diversity among potential stakeholders and partners. The proliferation of players genuinely representing stakeholders and making concrete contributions to current global issue resolution indicates that we have come a long way from traditional international relations' state-centric approach. HERE ARE SOME COMMON AND INFLUENTIAL CLASSES OF NON-STATE ACTORS: • Business Magnates • Corporations • Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
- 16. THE UNITED NATIONS The UN is one important example of a non-state actor, an international government organization (IGO) playing a vital role in the world's affairs. The United Nations seeks to maintain peace, protect human rights, provide humanitarian help, promote sustainable development, and acknowledge international law. The United Nations plays an important role in dealing with global issues and developing global relations. It has 193 member states and two observer states, the Holy See and Palestine.
- 17. Five Branches of The United Nations THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY the main decision-making and representative assembly and is responsible for upholding the principles of the UN through its policies and recommendations. THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL can authorize the deployment of UN member states' militaries, can mandate a cease-fire during conflicts, and can enforce penalties on countries if they do not comply with given mandates. can settle, according to international law, legal disputes between States and give opinions, mostly advisory, on legal questions brought to it by UN organs and agencies. THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE
- 18. THE ECONOMIC & SOCIAL JUSTICE assists the UN General Assembly in promoting economic and social development, as well as cooperation of member states. THE SECRETARIAT headed by the Secretary-General, provides studies, Information, and other dates when needed by other UN branches for their meetings. Five Branches of The United Nations
