‘Governance’
In its purest form, GOVERNANCE
describes the structures and decision-
making processes that allow a state,
organization or group of people to
conduct affairs.
The most obvious among these is the
government running the country, as
well as the administrations and
groups that ensure its safety and
efficiency.
But it’s not just governments that govern:
institutions such as the IMF, World Bank and
United Nations, for instance, have an authority
that is recognized the world over.

How did global governance come about?
•
As the Second World War drew to a close, 44 allied nations –
including the United States, United Kingdom and France –
gathered to set up the world-leading institutions that have presided
over the economic and political landscape for the past few decades.
•
Chief among these are the World Bank, IMF and the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, whose multilateral style of
governance (in which the world’s most powerful countries engage
and negotiate with other interested nations) has been the defining
authoritative model of our age.

Why is global governance failing?
•
The power of governments and global institutions to ease
geopolitical tensions and safeguard world security is
weakening.
•
Global regimes are experiencing an erosion of authority in
the face of intensifying threats.
