Contents, comment
-
Content of teaching: This module aims to present the development of governance debates, from the most hierarchical and centralised authority forms to the newest decentralised and networked ones. At first, the module will introduce global governance and the formation of the multilateral system through different theoretical traditions in International Relations. Subsequently, the module will present the changes introduced to the multilateral system during the 90s and the following debates on governance deficit and the ‘retreat of the state’. The module will then present the development of new forms of governance and hybrid arrangements, concluding with the recent debates on legitimacy and authority diffusion.
