Introduction
How effective is the United Nations? Does the European Union truly have a future in light of the wave of nationalism sweeping across the continent? Does the power of the IMF and the World Bank reach too far? The MA Global Governance seeks to answer these and other questions at the beginning of an, until now, extremely dynamic 21st century.
International and world society
In line with the English School’s approach to the study of International Relations, this programme focuses on the development of ‘international society’ and ‘world society’. International society is related to studying fluctuations in the kind and quality of anarchy and order between sovereign political communities in time (historical perspective) and place (international subsystems). World society is related to studying changing forms of transnational governance and its normative qualities. Historical and constructivist methodologies, as well as Multilevel Governance approaches are applied to interpret the critical interplay between these globalised realms of private and public interests. Central themes are Human Rights, democratisation and development, ethics and power.
