Global Governance
FIRST OF ALL, I DO HAVE TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR
INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED WITHOUT ANY MISTAKE OR MISSING POINTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM OR DOUBT, PLEASE DO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY.
DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE, PLEASE
THE DEADLINE MUST BE RESPECTED. THEREFORE, I DON’T WANT TO HAVE THE INCONVIENCE TO SEND THE PAPER BACK FOR REVIEW DUE TO SOME MISSED POINTES FORM THE MAIN INSTRUCTIONS AS IT WILL GO BEYOND THE DEADLINE.

THE WHOLE INSTRUTIONS MUST BE MET AND DELIVERED DUE THE DEADLINE DATE.
PLEASE, AS YOU WRITE THE PAPER AND JUST BEFORE TO DELIVER IT DO A CHECK LIST OF ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.

THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A DISSERTATION AND IF ALL GOES WELL YOU GONE HAVE WORK FOR WHILE (IF YOU WANT).
IN THIS CASE, JUST TAKE THIS TASK IF YOU ARE REALLY
INTERESTED TO BE COMMITED FOR LITTLE BIT LONGER IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE THE SAME WRITER ALL THE WAY THROUGH. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT IS TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FIELD AND THE APPROPRIATE SKILLS TO WORK ON THIS MASTER LEVEL PAPER.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COMMITMENT.

(I HAD EXPERIENCED SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE LACK OF COMMITMENT BY FEW WRITERS THAT HAD ‘DELIVERED’ THE PAPER WITHOUT MEET ALL THE REQUIMENTS LEADING TO SEVERAL REQUESTING FOR REVIEWS. SITUATION THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IF THE INSTRUCTIONS HAD BEEN FOLLOWED IN THE FIRST PLACE-BY THE END THE DEADLINE WAS TOO FAR FROM THE ONE I HAD PAID TO)

SUBJECT: GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

Key players in Global Governance: International organisations, Entitles and special groups

1) World Bank: Restructure and development

2) International Monetary Fund: Control of monetary system and rescue plans

3) Bank of International Settlement: Bank of the central banks and financial regulator
4) Word Trade Organisation: Trade in good and service, and regulator of the trade system
5) United Nations: Influential over a diversity of issues and also regulator, moderator and monitor
6) Financial Stability Board: support for financial regulation

7) European Union: a major regional institution heavily involved in global governance in many different areas including financial and trade sectors.

8) G8: the major super powers and most influential group

9) G20: the most diverse group formed by emerging and developed countries and yet the most influential in its category

The general idea is to analyse how those players articulate their influence over global governance. Identify the issues on how they organise themselves and how their actors and policies affect government relations as well as the impact on national level.
Issues to be looked at are globalisation, regional integration, protectionism, sovereignty, economy, low and high level politics, banking system, trade relations, development and few other.

Some theories that can be used are the theories of international relations such as liberalism, constructivism, neo-liberalism and neo-realism.

Many of business approaches can apply to this area in terms of strategies, cultural relevance, perspectives, objectives, claims and so on.
Global governance has domino effect that starts from global, to international, to regional, to national and then to the very locals.
