Course content:
Global Governance refers to the rise of cooperative relations in international politics – documented, for instance, by the increasing number of international organizations, norms and regulations. Such relations often include not only states but also non-state actors, such as NGOs or multinational coporations.
This seminar analyzes global governance institutions, actors and policy processes as well as their implications. Moreover, the seminar addresses questions of authority and legitimacy of new governance forms as well as their contestation.To this aim, the course draws on a variety of empirical cases that will be studied in group works, discussions, and a simulation game. Students will develop their own research project in the course of the seminar.

1. Name, describe, and explain central theories and concepts of Global Governance research.

Modulbeschreibung:
The module provides an understanding of the basic elements of global governance. Global governance is characterized by two central lines of conflict, the tension between the role of the nation states and the importance of global contexts on the one hand, and the tension between losers and winners of globalisation on the other.
The complexity and intransparency of global governance result from the fact that there is no overarching system of world politics that could make collectively binding decisions. This forces the functional world systems (e.g. world financial system or world trade system) to build up their own forms, mechanisms and institutions of self-organisation and self-governance. The analysis of current and emerging global governance regimes and actors is the core content of this module.
