The Bolton,R. Chicago journal of International Law article “Should we take global governance seriously ?” discusses the different factions within the US regarding global governance. The article states the different understandings of global governance depending on people level of education. According to the article, highly educated group better understand the meaning behind global governance and the importance in discussing it comparing to everyone else.
In order to keep the international security stable, global governance should consist on different aspects such as the legitimacy and authority of the use of force through constraining and limiting the nation-states themselves. For instance, the use of military force is one of the major decisions around the world and it is crucial when it comes to the worth of global governance. Limiting the decision making of military use of force helps in the diminution of sovereignty and the advance of global governance. Generally, global governance should be taken seriously either now or in the future; as the globalism category believes in. In regards to the US, the importance of the topic will result in a reduced constitutional autonomy, impaired popular sovereignty, reduction of our international power, and limitations on our domestic and foreign policy options and solutions.
The concept of global governance has always been fundamentally a major topic for decades. It has been approached differently within the framework of international relations and considered as a response to the current globalization process.
Thanks, Chada, for this blog post. We will discuss global governance not only in this week’s class session but from a number of different angles throughout the semester. There are pro’s and con’s. Many conservatives, including Bolton, fear and oppose global solutions; yet they also seem to grudgingly recognize that it is more or less inevitable for many issues. –Professor Wallerstein
