- W2161542010 abstract "Thoughts from the New Coeditors: Where and Why Are We Going? The transfer of editorial stewardship for a journal provides the occasion to rethink the journal's purposes and its place in the dense forest of texts claiming attention. If our view of these matters differed radically from those of our distinguished predecessors, it is very unlikely that we would have been called, much less chosen, to assume the journal's direction. Still, there are likely to be nuanced differences among editors. At a minimum, each set inevitably has its own way of expressing its view of the journal's purposes and place. This article describes where we seek to take the journal in the coming years, and why. Governance: Institutions, Identities, and Interests What do we mean by the phrase Global Governance? To us it refers to the norms and institutions (of varying degrees of formality) and processes by means of which social goods--including wealth, power, knowledge, health, and authority--are constantly being generated and allocated by public, private, and nongovernmental actors through their cooperative and competitive actions. It is therefore obvious, we trust, that formal intergovernmental institutions constitute only a fraction of global governance in our mental universe. Our focus will be on the norms, institutions, and practices, but also on the actors--their motives, strategies, and tactics--and on the allocational consequences of their activities seen from a human security perspective. Among scholars, practitioners, and political leaders with any sort of cosmopolitan perspective it is conventional to speak of a gap between the institutions of global governance and the transnational challenges of the twenty-first century. Though this is one way of framing the challenge, (1) a useful alternative is to see as one of the bad outcomes currently produced by global governance as we have defined it. Whether seen as causal or consequential, there is certainly a gap today between the dramatic new challenges flaring up in the early years of the century and the international system of institutions, norms, processes, and actors that has haltingly evolved to meet them. Even a mild optimist looking far down the avenue of the twenty-first century can envision a world fraught with widening and deepening poverty, episodic pandemics, frequent eruptions of furious internal conflicts, proliferation of small arms and weapons of mass destruction, the spread of organized criminal and terrorist enterprises, and devastating environmental, economic, and social effects of climate change. Although the global future is not necessarily a neo-Malthusian catastrophe, we fear it will be unless global governance evolves in ways that enable key actors collectively to address these unparalleled international challenges. If norms, institutions, processes, and actors' perceptions of identity and interest were beyond the reach of collective human will, then no doubt then no doubt there would be clear and present dangers to the very survival of the human project in a recognizable and morally tolerable form. Those who state the governance problem solely in terms of gaps usually have fairly formal institutions in mind and presume that those formal institutions are presently and prospectively inadequate. We are sympathetic to that form of discourse, but we also think that the implied emphasis on formal institutions leads over-quickly to a search for institutional fixes and insufficient consideration of why we have the extant set of inadequate institutions. Like cops, we doubt coincidence. Institutional arrangements embody perceptions of identity and interest; hence, any strategy for the revision of those institutions must begin by clarifying and assessing those identities and interests. They are certain to be the property not of some abstraction called national governments but of real actors in the public and often the private and, increasingly, the nongovernmental sectors. …" @default.
