AbstractMany observers worry that growing numbers of international institutions with overlapping functions undermine governance effectiveness via duplication, inconsistency and conflict. Such pessimistic assessments may undervalue the mechanisms available to states and other political agents to reduce conflictual overlap and enhance inter-institutional synergy. Drawing on historical data I examine how states can mitigate conflict within Global Governance Complexes (GGCs) by dissolving or merging existing institutions or by re-configuring their mandates. I further explore how “order in complexity” can emerge through bottom-up processes of adaptation in lieu of state-led reform. My analysis supports three theoretical claims: (1) states frequently refashion governance complexes “top-down” in order to reduce conflictual overlap; (2) “top-down” restructuring and “bottom-up” adaptation present alternative mechanisms for ordering relations among component institutions of GGCs; (3) these twin mechanisms ensure that GGCs tend to (re)produce elements of order over time–albeit often temporarily. Rather than evolving towards ever-greater fragmentation and disorder, complex governance systems thus tend to fluctuate between greater or lesser integration and (dis)order.

Governance arrangements have become increasingly complex over time, such that today everything from the Internet to medicine and warfare is subject to some form of governance at the global level. Notably, these changes in global governance can come slowly or quickly, depending on circumstances. For example, evolutionary change is evident in the establishment of new treaties and protocols on regulating the various aspects of war and its aftermath—an area where the list of agreements is long and growing. But change can also happen very quickly as new mechanisms—for example, for coordinating states’ responses during pandemics—are established during crises.

This article identifies the actors and dynamics involved in the process of ‘indicatorization’ in the aid effectiveness regime, from the initial decision to use indicators to the impact the indicators’ monitoring produces. It contributes to the existing and growing literature on indicators, and gives a specific example of the use of indicators in global governance. Because of its iterative perspective, the aid effectiveness regime enables an analysis of the trial and error process in the making of indicators and of the interplay of different actors, mainly States and international organizations, over time. This case study shows how actors can ‘play’ with indicators that are supposed to define their actions, and ultimately the tension that might exist between the indicator’s logic (the uniformity of the numerical measurement) and the regime principles, based on the ownership paradigm.

Abstract Multilateral conferences are the bread-and-butter of international politics. In such settings, countries may pursue their interests individually, but most of the time they prefer to act through coalitions. Such coalitions are overlapping, creating a network structure. States build and utilize networks to get agenda items pushed through or to block unfavorable ones. While sometimes they are formed on the basis of formal institutions (such as the NAM or the EU), frequently their membership is based on either ad hoc cooperation or existing informal bodies (such as the NSG, New Agenda Coalition, or Zangger Committee). The attention to such networks is, however, still in its infancy. This paper looks at how state networks within one of the most important recurring diplomatic conferences—the quinquennial NPT Review Conference—develop and transform over time. By doing so, the paper maps the existing networks and explains their transformation as an instrument of global governance.

The purpose of this study is to examine the press within the framework of 'development journalism', a kind of journalism which is responsible for informing the public about the administrative changes and transformation processes experienced by the country, by considering the implementation of ‘new public management’ concept in Turkey within the domain of the ‘global governance’ and ‘globalization’ phenomenon affecting the nation states.  It was assumed in the design of the study that long or short term social problems could only be observed in a time tunnel and that the dense break points were spread over time.  When some anti-systematic tendencies are examined in the historical process, it can be seen that the order settled in the administrative area can be suddenly reversed by causal relation.  Issues in the background of the current problems in Turkey, has been characterized by a feature of uncertainty under the influence of populist politics that have been exhibited over time by different governments coming to power since the cold war.  There are many reasons for the historical background of some of the disruptions seen in the administrative application practices of the new public administration approach.  These include the late arrival of modernism to Turkey; followed by dependence on international aid programs under the US and EU; being a party to international economic and military agreements; the time required to adapt the definitions of internal law to domestic law; informing citizens about the change and assimilating the transformation.  There fore the relations between 'administration and the media' have been tried to be handled in connection with the global order.  In many non-Western countries, utilitarian practices of the new governance conception that developed after the abandonment of open or hidden colonial practices have also created an impact on the development of journalism and the differentiation of journalism genres.  'Development journalism' has played an important role in reflecting public administrative changes in Turkey to the public, which was never subjected to colonial rule by the West.  In this study, only a descriptive situation is detected.  It is expected to be useful for studies on the ‘administration’ and the media relations to be carried out later, during the change and transformation process of Turkey to a presidential system.  'Governance’ and media relations are handled together within the scope of new public administration practices and ‘global governance’ concept, which makes this work original.

Do So

To justify their authority, international organizations (IOs) have long relied on a functional narrative that highlights effective problem-solving based on rational-legal expertise and neutrality. Today, IOs increasingly legitimize their authority in the language of democracy. Yet not all of them do so to the same extent, in the same manner, or consistently over time. In this article, we offer a comprehensive theoretical and empirical account of democratic legitimation in global governance. Our analysis builds on a new dataset, measuring the extent to which global IOs use democratic narratives in legitimizing their authority throughout the period from 1980 to 2011. The central findings are threefold. First, our data reveal a far-reaching rise of democratic legitimation in global governance. For many organizations, this increase remains relatively modest; for others, the democratic legitimation narrative becomes central. Second, this variation is mainly explained by a combination of two factors: (a) public visibility and protest constitute the driving forces of democratic legitimation and (b) IOs’ reaction to these legitimacy pressures unfolds in a path-dependent manner. Once organizations begin to take up democratic narratives, it seems to become costly to leave this path and shift to yet another set of norms. By contrast, the conventional wisdom that democratic legitimation follows in the footsteps of internationalized authority is not supported by our analysis.

Abstract Global governance consists of elementary regimes that form regime complexes, which in turn give rise to what we call superclusters around broad policy domains. In recent years, scholars have explored what these macroscopic structures look like and how they evolve over time. Yet the complex ways in which entire governance superclusters interact and coevolve, and what might emerge through this process, have not received much attention. In this article, we expand the ontological frontier of global governance research by offering a first bird’s-eye view on supercluster-level institutional interaction with an empirical focus on trade and environment. We constructed and analyzed a dynamic network-of-networks model, revealing a supercluster complex, a massive institutional structure in global governance consisting of two or more interlocking superclusters that exert a measurable influence on each other’s course of development. We theorize that the supercluster complex serves as an institutional fabric that enables the degree of self-organized coordination observed between the trade and environment policy domains. Our preliminary findings warrant more research on supercluster complexes as an important but little-noticed phenomenon in global governance.

This chapter compares the developments in the nine partial orders surveyed, looking at legitimacy and effectiveness; the incidence of violence; their principles, rules, norms, and institutions; rules enforcement through collective sanctions; dominant actors and interaction patterns; and their evolution over time. It then assesses the roles and performances of the USA and the People’s Republic of China as “ordering powers” and summarizes the characteristics of changes in the international order since 1990. What emerges is a paradox: the world needs more international order and global governance, but recent changes have mostly been in the opposite direction. The final section offers observations about the causes for this paradoxical decline of the post-Cold War order and reflects on the implications of what has been happening for the future of international order.
