It challenges the promise that global institutions and frameworks offer solutions to major world challenges such as climate change, pandemics, war, democracy, human rights and inequalities.\n\nAdopting diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, the Research Handbook draws on a broad range of perspectives to interrogate the concepts of global and governance, considering the ideologies reflected by these terms. Leading experts discuss the roles played by the state as well as local, regional and international organisations, addressing their accountability, transparency and governance leg.
