Sažetak

The author claims that there is a growing need for governance, but not for world government. Global governance is one of those terms which are increasingly familiar but for which it is hard to find a consensual definition. Nevertheless it is clear that it is not one thing but a hybrid, and that it is a process rather than an institution. This process is the attempt to identify issues, to form an agenda, to arrive at an outcome and to establish arrangements to implement it and gather feedback from that implementation. After 500 years of the present global system we are moving towards a clearer, more conscious system of global governance to match the global economy. The present institutional frameworks for global governance are patently inadequate in these terms and their inadequacy is reflected in the growing alienation of individuals from democratic processes even in mature democracies, and from the institutions of the UN system. Global governance is multipolar in the sense that there are many different actors some of whom may be multi-national corporations, other non-governmental organisations or other international institutions as well as traditional state actors.
