In seiner "Theory of Global Governance" argumentiert Michael Zürn, Staaten seien gegenwärtig in ein globales politisches System eingebettet, das eine Vielzahl internationaler Institutionen umfasst. Dieser Forumsbeitrag unternimmt den Versuch einer Annäherung an die Gestalt des von Zürn identifizierten globalen politischen Systems. Er schlägt vor, global governance als ein polyzentrisch strukturiertes System zu konzeptualisieren, das aus vielen Entscheidungszentren besteht, die formal voneinander unabhängig sind, sich aber faktisch wechselseitig beeinflussen. Der Beitrag verdeutlicht zunächst, worin die zentralen Merkmale der polyzentrischen Struktur des von Zürn identifizierten globalen politischen Systems bestehen. Anschließend skizziert er, wie die polyzentrische Struktur staatliches Verhalten beeinflusst und das Problem politischer Ordnungsbildung jenseits des Nationalstaates akzentuiert. Abschließend wird vor dem Hintergrund gegenwärtiger Herausforderungen für zwischenstaatliche Kooperation angedeutet, worin die institutionellen Stärken einer polyzentrischen Regelungsstruktur liegen.

Over the past years, we have heard and read plenty about how executives should behave more responsibly in the light of corporate governance. Despite all these efforts, many implementations of corporate governance provide no protection from potentially catastrophic ethical failures. This book emphasizes the introduction of a new corporate governance blueprint for addressing these concerns in a more authentic, organic and holistic way. It is a roadmap toward a high-performance ethical culture. By way of this innovative system, Dr. Hubert Rampersad and Saleh Hussain, MBA, are launching a revolutionary concept that actively has human capital embedded in corporate governance in a manner that creates a stable basis for the personnel's trustworthiness, integrity, and engagement and ethical corporate excellence. Featuring numerous case examples and practical tools and exercises, this book will help the reader learn to: Develop, implement, and cultivate authentic personal governance and corporate governance effectively Create conditions for sustainable corporate governance Increase their personal effectiveness Develop their personal integrity effectively and become a better human being Develop ethical personal leadership Develop a highly engaged workforce, based on high ethical standards Create a high-performance culture and enhance the competitiveness of their organization Create conditions for an organizational climate marked by self-guidance, creativity, passion, and ethical behavior Develop a culture in which personal integrity and business ethics is a way of life

It is proposed that government, being the tangible expression of the legitimate authority within an organised society, has undegone a long transformational journey since its very emergence. The various evolutionary forms and features of the government have been the product of its meaningful and viable responses to the changing expectations of the people as well as to the challenges they faced in an ever-changing environment. The exclusive domain of the state over the period became a shared space with inclusion of other actors and stakeholders, and an era of governance was ushered in since the 1980s. The much celebrated success of the liberal democracy and its market-led open economy heralded as an era of good governance. However, the universal model of good governance fails to take into account the local constraints of a society. Thus, the idea of good governance has to face various types of challenges in the developing as well as underdeveloped societies.

Der Governancebegriff hat eine steile Karriere hinter sich und manche werden sich fragen, ob sie weiterhin anhält. Dies ist Anlass genug, die Leistungsfähigkeit des Governance-Konzepts zu hinterfragen. Dazu will diese Schrift einen kleinen Beitrag leisten, indem insgesamt sieben Funktionen des Governance-Konzepts auf den Prüfstand gestellt werden. Im Ergebnis weist Gunnar Folke Schuppert dem Governance-Begriff als sozialwissenschaftlichem Schlüsselbegriff vor allem dreierlei Funktionen zu
