Download [Kindle] Contending Perspectives on Global
Governance: Coherence and Contestation
By Alice D. Ba
Global governance is fast becoming a ubiquitous phrase, succeeding
globalization as the latest buzz term. But exactly what does it mean? For many
scholars and policymakers the term captures important aspects of world
politics. This unique volume delivers and compares the key perspectives of the
leading thinkers in the area, equipping the reader with an excellent
understanding of the debate now defining and mapping the future of this term.
This comparative approach is underpinned by a lucid theoretical framework
which guides the reader towards building a clear sense of the debate and its
complexities. A wide range of empirical issues are covered, including those of
Security, International Political Economy, Environment, Human Rights, Social
Movements and Regulation. Including theorists of social constructivism, liberal
imperialism and realism, this is an essential book for students and scholars
which stimulates discussion and presents a fully rounded picture of global
governance.
