Global Governance: Role of Knowledge and Innovation - Margery Gracia - Bog

Institutions involved in global governance are responsible for making, monitoring and enforcing rules. Within global governance, a variety of actors such as states and non-state actors, markets, citizens and organizations articulate their collective interests on the global platform. Global governance can be broadly divided into four stages which include agenda-setting; policymaking; implementation and enforcement; and evaluation, monitoring, and adjudication.
