actors, correlations, analytical category, complexity, global policy, problemsAbstract
In line with the growing popularity of the concept of global governance, critiques have been voiced of its lack of concreteness and clarity, since it takes on different meanings depending on the context, interpretations, and understandings of those who use it. To navigate this polysemic swamp, eleven different ideas related to global governance are analyzed in the light of the problems they address, the variables they correlate, and the non-state actors they consider. It also identifies three attributes of the concept that underpin its function as an analytical category in the understanding of global phenomena, as well as being the germ of a methodology of analysis.
