Global Governance and the Role of Non-State Actors

Global Governance and the Role of Non-State Actors
Global Governance and the Role of Non-State Actors

Prof Dr. Gunnar Folke Schuppert - 2006

Das Thema ‚Governance' ist in den letzten Jahren zu einem der am weitesten verbreiteten Forschungsthemen avanciert. Der vorliegende Band diskutiert in zahlreichen Beiträgen die Globalisierung politischer Steuerung. Dabei wird der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung auf die Rolle von nichtstaatlichen Organisationen gelegt. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Werkes ist es, den Handlungsspielraum der nichtstaatlichen Organisationen zu untersuchen und auch Bereiche aufzuzeigen, in denen sie eher als “governance”-Akteure in Erscheinung treten, da bestimmte Aufgaben traditionell mit der Regierungs- und Staatsgewalt in Verbindung gebracht werden. Das Buch ist anlässlich einer Konferenz entstanden, die im Jahre 2004 in London stattfand und vom Wissenschaftszentrum für Sozialforschung (WZB), Berlin, der Alfred Herrhausen-Gesellschaft, dem Internationalen Forum der Deutschen Bank und dem »Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation« (CARR) an der London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) organisiert worden ist.

This book grew out of a conference organised by the Social Science Research Centre Berlin (WZB), the Alfred Herrhausen Society - The International Forum of the Deutsche Bank - and the Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in November 2004 in London. Changes in statehood are one of the main indicators of a shift in the focus of governance onto the global level. This is manifested most clearly in the emergence and growing importance of actors that are no longer tied to national or state contexts in the traditional way, as with national parliaments, government ministries or administrative bodies. The age of Global Governance is an age of international actors, such as the WTO, and of non-state actors, such as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and transnational corporations (TNCs). The aim of the conference was to take a closer look at these non-state actors, the scope of their activities, the way they operate, and the extent to which they are perhaps more appropriately classified as “governance actors”, given their function as regulators and standard setters, tasks more traditionally associated with the state.
