world order.
 Globalgovernance encompasses activities that transcend national
boundaries at the international, transnational, and regional levels and is
based on rights and rules that are enforced through a combination of
economic and moral incentives.
 Global governance brings together diverse actors to coordinate collective
action at the level of the planet.

progress and human rights. As well achieve world peace
 Founded in 1945 after world war II in replacement of the league of nations
it has 193 member state. This was an attempt to provide a platform for
international communication to prevent further wars.
THE ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE
UNITED NATIONS
 The United Nations is the most prominent international institution
established. It is the intergovernmental that promotes international
cooperation, and creates and maintains international order. Its objectives
are: preserving international peace and security, elevating human rights,
advancing social and economic development, securing the environment,
and giving humanitarian aid cases causes of a natural calamities, famine,
and armed conflict (Gallinero, 2019)

states or suggestions to the Security Council (UNSC); determines on
admittance of new members proposed by the UNSC; adopts the budget; and

cooperation between the UN’s numerous specialized agencies.
 UN Trusteeship Council – originally programmed to manage colonized

CHALLENGES OF GLOBAL
GOVERNANCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY
 The United Nation has naturally faced numerous problems and challenges
given the scope of tis responsibilities. Take note the institution is not a
world government. It functions due to voluntary cooperation from states. If
one state to refused to cooperate, there is always the tendency that the
influence of UN is compromised. For instance, problem cannot be
identified or addressed immediately if rapporteurs sent by the UN are not
welcomed by the countries concerned.
GOVERNANCE GAPS
 Weiss
(2015) , identified the five global governance gaps; knowledge,
normative, policy, institutional, and accompliance.
 Knowledge - Is a valuable core asset which is both intangible and concrete,
a general and specific source. Lack of information will not resolve or
remedy a situation since the severity of the problem is not fully knows.
GOVERNANCE GAPS
 Normative role of the UN which has been fundamental since its creation.
Norms are measurements of the morality. They serve as bases of
appropriate behaviors for actors in certain community. Yet, implementing a
new development agenda is difficult where hard-won normative gains are
contested by nationalism, populism, and protectionism which are
significantly increasing.
 Policies
– are enacted and implemented to settle problems or issues. Issue
crops up when members of the civil society are not included in the policy-
making. Therefore, addressing the problems in the global community takes
time when this happens.
GOVERNANCE GAPS
 Institutional gaps – would include any failures of effective mechanisms to
ensure that that the law is in place. The different organizations of the UN
will see to it that these policies are properly implemented.
 Compliance – is on the issue whether the policies are implemented or
enforced effectively. Some countries may not be willing or able to
implement the agreed elements of international policy as well as enforce
penalties on violators and abusers. (Gallinero , 2019)
RELEVANCE OF STATE AMID
GLOBALIZATION
 The state is always from the start of its creation guarantees internal and
external security. It has always been the principle of the state to protect and
serve the people. Hence, security and services are its core responsibilities.
In this contemporary world, there is still no evidence that globalization
reduces the relevance of state’s functions.
 Albeit, it has motivated the state to focus more in doing its responsibilities
to prevent dominance and control by other states. State in the 21st century
is different in many ways from the past. It has a significant role in
providing affordable social services.
RELEVANCE OF STATE AMID
GLOBALIZATION
 Globalization benefits society in countries that enjoy some degree of
political and economic stability, have adequate infrastructure, and equitable
safety nets. In other words, globalization needs strong states with strong
democratic institutions. To ensure that globalization benefits are enjoyed
equally by both developed and developing countries, good governance is a
must (Bertucci, 2001). (Gallinero, 2019)
