World rule

Dilemmas from climate change to financial meltdowns make it clear that global interconnectedness is the norm in the twenty-first century. As a result, global governance organizations (GGOs) have taken on prominent roles in the management of international affairs. But as 'World Rule' reveals, they struggle to meet two challenges: building authority despite limited ability to impose sanctions and maintaining legitimacy while satisfying the demands of key constituencies whose support is essential to a global rulemaking regime. Koppell provides a clearer picture of the compromises within and the competition among these influential institutions by focusing attention on their organizational design.
