Rethinking Global Governance [Hardcover]

Rethinking Global Governance?casts fresh eyes upon a once poignant but now languishing concept. Its purpose is to disrupt the simple association between global governance and the actions and activities of international organizations in the post-Cold War era and to focus instead on a set of questions that probe the intricate and multifaceted manner in which the world is governed. The book moves beyond the ubiquity and imprecision that has plagued the term and offers an intellectual framework with the potential to improve both thinking and practice.

Building on the analytical insights of two of the leading scholars in the field,?Rethinking Global Governance?provides an antidote to simplistic usage and an authoritative yet readable attempt to grasp the governance of our globe  past, present, and future.

Weiss and Wilkinson have brought a unique wealth of knowledge and experience to this concise and readable volume on the often misunderstood but critically important topic of global governance. It is a must-read for students, scholars, and policy-makers interested in the future of our planet and how we govern it.
