This book asks a multinational and multidisciplinary group of scholars and analysts from around the world to write on sixteen global problems. The individual chapters identify the successes and failures of international and transnational governance approaches in these particular problem areas and examine the conditions for their effective use. This provides the basis for a broad comparative analysis across problem areas and for the formulation of specific recommendations for governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and others actively involved in transnational and national governance. Jessica T. Mathews, president of the Carnegie Endowment, writes the foreword.
