  • High value is given to different factors in other political systems (e.g., socialism, communism, nationalism.)
  • Dependent values are those that are influenced by other values.

International Cooperation Challenges

  • International figures defined global governance as the process through which differing interests are managed.

  • It involves both formal governmental institutions and informal, non-governmental mechanisms.

  • It contrasts with global government which is not backed by formal systems of authority but includes various forms of collaboration among states

Global Governance Actors

  • IGOs, including those with varying numbers of members between 3 and 190, are critical actors in managing global affairs.

  • Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are significant non-state actors involved in international transactions.

Power and Effectiveness in Global Governance
