Global governance and the un: an unfinished journey

9780253221674 - Global governance and the un: an unfinished journey
2e hands

Artikelomschrijving

In the 21st century, the world is confronted by threats of global scale that cannot be tackled without collective action. Although global government as such does not exist, formal and informal institutions, practices, and initiatives--together forming global governance--bring a greater measure of predictability, stability, and order to trans-border issues than might be expected. Yet, there are significant gaps between many current global problems and available solutions. Thomas G. Weiss and Ramesh Thakur analyze the UNs role in addressing such lapses, which they identify as knowledge, normative, policy, institutional, and compliance gaps. The UNs relationship to these five global governance gaps is explored through case studies of some of the most burning problems of our age, including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, humanitarian crises, development aid, climate change, human rights, and HIV/AIDS.
