Structures and processes occurring within and between states are
no longer the only – or even the most important - determinants of
those political, economic and social developments and dynamics
that shape the modern world. Many issues, including the
environment, health, crime, drugs, migration and terrorism, can
no longer be contained within national boundaries. As a result,
it is not always possible to identify the loci for authority and
legitimacy, and the role of governments has been called into
question.

Governance critically analyses the increasing impact of
nongovernmental organisations and civil society on global and
regional governance. Written from the standpoint of advocates of
civil society and addressing the role of civil society in
relation to the UN, the IMF, the G8 and the WTO, this volume
assess the role of various non-state actors from three
perspectives: theoretical aspects, civil society interaction with
the European Union and civil society and regional governance
outside Europe, specifically Africa, East Asia and the Middle
East. It demonstrates that civil society’s role has been more
complex than one defined in terms, essentially, of resistance and
includes actual participation in governance as well as
multi-facetted contributions to legitimising and democratising
global and regional governance.
