Global Governance and the United Nations System (Changing Nature of Democracy) by Volker Rittberger and United Nations University

This book offers a wide ranging analysis of changing world order at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It examines the progression from international to global governance, focusing on the fundamental change of actors, agendas, collective decision making, and the role of the UN system. Globalization does not only mean a change of relationship between governments and market forces. It also has important implications for the identities and activities of transnational social actors. International governance, the authors argue, faces three different challenges: the technological revolution, globalization, and the end of the Cold War —leading to jurisdictional, operational, incentive, and participatory gaps in governance with which international governance systems cannot adequately cope.
