Outline and objectives

By what process are policies coordinated and actions concerted with regard to global issues? How and by whom are these processes organized and structured? Treating global governance as a process, this course examines how global governance functions at both international and regional levels through cases of Europe and East Asia. Henceforth, the course considers how these different levels of governance interact with regard to three different global issues and the policies built in response thereto in the two areas studied.

Goal

By the end of the course, students are expected to have acquired:
1. a good understanding of the structures and processes of global governance at both international and regional levels
2. a firm grasp of the diversity of actors involved in the global governance process
3. comprehension of the specific characters of global governance and corresponding issues and challenges

Students will be required to apply analytical frameworks they learned during class by conducting a research on an organization of their choice that will result in a presentation during the second half of the semester (starting week 9) and a written report to be submitted at the end of the semester. This will be performed collectively or individually depending on the number of students attending the course. Feedback by peers and the instructor will be given in class.
