    Uploaded by

    Ronald Jay
    The document discusses global governance and the role of the United Nations. It defines global governance as the processes that create order between states in the absence of a single world government. While there is no global authority that can compel state behavior, states generally adhere to international norms around issues like navigation, sovereignty, and safety standards. When states do not follow these norms, it becomes a cause for global debate. The United Nations is a key international organization that helps facilitate global governance through powers like establishing global standards, defining important terms, and diffusing norms.

    that may not be strict law. But
    nevertheless produce regularity in
    behavior
    (InternationalistBenham and Kant)
    imagined the possibility of a global
    government, which nothing of that sort
    exist today. There is no single
    organization that can militarily compel a
    state to obey predetermined global
    rules. However, there is some regularity
    in the behavior amongst the different
    state.
    Behavior such as;

    Following global navigation routes


    Respect each other’s territorial
    boundaries and sovereignty
    Following international standards
    on safety and traffic

    global rules ?

    global concerns and
    debate

    order continues to adhere
    to certain global norms
    means that there is
    resemblance of world
    order despite the lack of
    single world government.

    refers to the various
    intersecting processes
    that create this order.
    International Organizations (IO’s)

    International
    Organizations
    (Michael n. Barnett and Martha Finnemore)
    Power of Classification- create powerful global
    standards
    Power to fix Meanings – this is a broader function
    related to the first. Various terms like “security” or
    “development” need to be well defined. State,
    organizations and individuals view international
    organizations as a legitimate source of information.
    As such, the meanings they create have effects on
    various policies.
    Power to Diffuse Norms- can be source of great
    good and harm
