- Contents
- The intensification of social relations and interdependence across borders due to processes of rapid globalization and technological change, among other factors, have transformed risks and threats faced by states and societies. As challenges in the sphere of security and conflict, economic and financial stability, environment or public health are increasingly global in scope, state power has partly eroded, partly increased particularly by using economic means (geo-economic power). At the same time, new modes of governance have evolved. Thus, states are not the only actors confronting global challenges through traditional mechanisms of government. On the one hand, they have delegated authority to international organizations (IOs) to manage global challenges, on the other hand, non-state actors such as international NGOs or transnational corporations contribute to global governance arrangements. The master seminar investigates these different modes to govern global challenges in various policy areas and analyzes and compares traditional approaches of state government and forms of intergovernmental and private authority.
