Global Governance in the Twenty-first-century aims to open a number of new areas for further analysis, and in particular, to begin a process of cross-fertilization between different disciplines examining issues related to global governance.Introduction; J.N.Clarke & G.R.Edwards PART I: NORMATIVE AND LEGAL PERSPECTIVES Christianity and Globalism; G.Ward Ethics and Global Governance: The Primacy of Constitutional Ethics; M.Frost Globalization, Governance and Investment Rules; D.Schneiderman PART II: POLICY MAKING PROCESSES AND CONTEXT The Changing Nature of Space; J.Agnew Global Governance and Political Economy: Public, Private and Political Authority in the 21st Century; G.Underhill The Great Powers in an Age of Global Governance: Are they Still Great?; R.Pastor PART III: POLICY CHALLENGES Human Security, Globalization and Global Governance; F.O.
