Presents an overview of international governance's politics and political economy. Focuses on the challenges of governance in the modern era of globalization, where states and their populations are deeply interconnected across a range of economic, political, security, and social issues and where the lines between domestic politics and international relations are increasingly blurred. Examines complex dilemmas for governance involving national governments, international organizations, and nonstate actors across all these issue areas. Introduces the foundations of international policy with case studies focusing on specific issues at the center of international policymaking.
