Cooperation
Under Anarchy
Interdependence among states creates incentives to
cooperate and create forms of governance (not government),
such as intergovernmental organizations
(Liberalism/Institutionalism)
There is no global government (Weiss, 2014)
considering state sovereignty
GLOBAL GOVERNANCE
II. GLOBAL
GOVERNANCE
Governance
• Purposeful systems of rules or norms that ensure order

beyond what occurs ‘naturally’
Global Governance
• Rules-based order without government

• The sum of laws, norms, policies and institutions that
define, constitute and mediate trans-border relations
between states, cultures, citizens, intergovernmental and
non-governmental organizations and the market – the
wielders and the object of the exercise of international
public power.
Addressing Collective
Goods Problem
Non-State Actors
Recognition of the sharing the
Context: Diverse, fact that there are governance stage
complex and problems that defy with State actors by
interdependent solutions by a single ensuring
world further fueled state: Problems international order
by globalization without passport and finding solutions
(Annan, 2002) to problems faced
by humanity
III. UNITED NATIONS
Continuation…
International Bureaucracy: represents a structure of
authority that rests on institutionalized state
practices and generally accepted norms (Hurd,
1999, 2007)
Universal state membership with mechanisms for

involving non state actors
Clearing house for information and action

Continuation…
Embodiment of the international community of states
Focus of international expectations and the locus of

collective actions as the symbol of an imagined and
constructed community of strangers
Global governance actor and site (read page 490 RE:

UN in Action on a 24/7 Basis)
IV. CHALLENGES
United Nations
• Knowledge, norms, policy, institutions and compliance
• Failure to tackle urgent collective-action problems due
to institutionalized inability, incapacity or unwillingness
• Challenges in peacekeeping missions
• It represents a structure of authority that rests on
institutionalized state practices and generally accepted
norms (Hurd, 1999, 2007)
• Address adequately the range of problems faced by
humanity
Four Essential Roles
(MDPI)
Managing Knowledge: Identifying and Diagnosing Problems
Developing Norms: Principled Ideas
Promulgating Recommendations: Operational Ideas
Institutionalizing ideas
Continuation…
Increasingly complex coordination

and cooperation problems as a
result of the number of actors and
the existence of decentralized and
informal, largely self-regulatory
groupings
V. STATE AND
GLOBALIZATION
• Increased interconnectivity
• Expansion of economic
Globalization activities across state borders
• Growing volume and variety
of cross border flows
• Both desirable and an

Expectation irreversible engine of growth
• Corporate Imperialism
• It creates losers as well as

winners
Effects • Entails risks as well as
providing opportunities
Role of State
• Realization that global issues have local
perspectives (Robertson, R., 1938)
• Continue to formulate policies responsive
to the needs of its people
• Foster spirit of cooperation and
multilateralism
• To reflect how the global and local relate
and intermix: Glocalization (Ibid)
CONCLUSIONS
• GLOBAL GOVERNANCE: Reflects the
realization that states and state-centric
institutions do not have the capacity to address
the challenges that renders borders ever more
porous (Problems without Passports)
• GLOBAL GOVERNANCE: Even without a world
government, there is much room for more
initiatives from governments and groups in
power
Four Essential Roles
(MDPI)
Managing Knowledge: Identifying and Diagnosing Problems
Developing Norms: Principled Ideas
Promulgating Recommendations: Operational Ideas
Institutionalizing ideas
Continuation…
• The United Nations remains a precious
experiment to be improved and complemented,
not abandoned and supplanted.
• Operative Concept: Improve global governance
but drop any pretense of moving towards world
government.
• Some more please…

Challenge of
Multidisciplinarity
• "A human being should be able to change a
diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a
ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the
dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act
alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem,
pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty
meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization
is for insects."— Lazarus Long
