Global governance can exist without a world government through informal arrangements and shared goals between states and non-state actors. It involves managing common affairs through both formal and informal cooperation. Key components of global governance include international organizations, rules and norms, regimes governing specific issues, and ad hoc groups. Non-state actors like NGOs and private companies also play important roles in global governance alongside states and intergovernmental organizations.

Global Governance In-class discussion GOVERNMENT vs GOVERNANCE
Why can there be Global Governance without a World
Government?
What does it take to have a World Government?
James Rosenau, 1992:
GOVERNMENT GOVERNANCE Backed by shared goals Purposive Backed by formal that may or may not derive authority, by police from legal and formally powers to insure the Goal-oriented prescribed responsibilities implementation of duly and that do not necessarily constituted policies rely on police powers to System of rule overcome defiance and attain compliance Defining Global Governance 1995 Commission on Global Governance:
“the sum of many ways individuals and institutions, public
and private, manage their common affairs. It is a continuing process through which conflicting or diverse interests may be accommodated and cooperative action may be taken. It includes formal…as well as informal arrangements that people and institutions have agreed to or perceive to be in their interest” Thomas Weiss:
Global Governance as…“Efforts to bring more orderly and
reliable responses to social and political issues that go beyond the capacities of states to address individually.” James Rosenau:
“Global governance is conceived to include system of rule at
all levels of human activity - from the family to the international organization – in which pursuit (search) of goals through the exercise of control has transnational repercussions.”

agents Morten Bøås:
*Governance as civil society- state relations
*Access to participation in the public realm *Include non-governmental actors who exercise legitimate authority *Response to World bank operationalized bad governance COSMOPOLITANISTS: David Held, Richard Falk, Mary Kaldor:
*Broadening identities beyond national

*Increasing awareness of the benefits
of transnational collaboration within regional associations and international institutions Pieces of Global Governance 1) International structures and mechanisms (formal or informal) IGOs: global, regional, purposive INGOs
IGOs “allow for the centralization of collective activities
through a concrete and stable organizational structure and supportive administrative apparatus… (increasing) the efficiency of collective activities and enhance the organization’s ability to affect the understandings, environment, and interests of states.” IGO Functions a) Informational gathering, analyzing, and disseminating data
b) Forum providing place for exchange of views and decision-making
c) Normative defining standards of behavior IGO Functions
e) Rule supervision compliance monitoring, rue adjudication, enforcement measures
f) Operational resource allocation, provision of technical assistance and relief, deployment of forces NGOs are "private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services, or undertake community development". 2. NGOs INGOs have the same mission as NGOs but it is international in scope and has outposts around the world to deal with specific issues in many countries. Kaldor: NGOs enable individuals to act publicly
*voluntary, local, issue-specific
*NGOs as ‘transmission belts among multiple levels
of governance Treaties or conventions
Customary practice
