ABSTRACT. Today we live in so-called “era of globalization.” More we talk about
it, more concerned we become, but nevertheless, there is no universal definition
assigned to this accepted phenomenon. This is due, perhaps, to the fact that global-
ization comprises an extensive range of complex processes occurring in different
areas of contemporary society. Specifically, globalization is the term currently used
to describe those changes recorded in companies of world’s economy, changes
arising from the large increase of international trade and exchanges taking place.
However, globalization displays increasing trade and investment following the dis-
appearance barriers and the interdependence between states. As a result of this
globalization, the world in critical areas has turned into a unique social system,
precisely through the development of those ties of interdependence between states,
which each of us affects us. Referring to globalization is often used in economic
and, almost exclusively, is considering trade, free trade and labor market liberal-
ization. It is true that globalization is achieved by a real link between multi-national
states on plans not only the economic, which include communication and exchange
of information and activity in various fields research and no less true that the
mastery of information is increasingly needed in the competition taking place to rule
territories and possession and exploitation of raw materials and labor. But, we ask
how real is the information we receive and how much it helps us evolve culturally
and spiritually, if we really helps each one of us who are witnessing and without
right of choice involved in this process of globalization, the globalization of society
in which we live? The study presents the views of the author on the effects of
globalization on men and women development as being endowed with intellect,
views that give a negative answer to the question above mentioned, according to
which, as a result of globalization, humans get to live only for the production and
consumption in a state of constant manipulation by those who hold real information,
and default, the power.

Global Governance
Global governance or world governance is a movement towards political integration of transnational actors aimed at negotiating responses to problems that affect more than one state or region. It tends to involve institutionalization.These institutions of global governance - the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the World Bank, etc. In the absence of a global government, the term
“Global Governance”
refers to how global affairs are governed by regulations and other practices and norms that apply on a global scale. The actors in this process include States, Intergovernmental Organizations, Nongovernmental Organizations, Multinational Corporations, and other actors that have an impact on how the above actors conduct their affairs.
One given organization, typically an Intergovernmental Organization, takes a lead role on an issue and leads the other actors in achieving consensus and producing agreements that determine how the governance is carried out. These agreements will affect both states and non-state actors (Finkelstein 53). The common understanding of global governance is the framework under which all the said actors need to act in unison for the good of all, but often different actors bring different intentions to the table. One of the defining characteristics of a state is sovereignty: the authority of a state to govern itself.
Under a framework of global governance, however, agreements thrashed out by entities that are not part of a given state are followed and acted upon by states. This threatens or usurps the sovereign authority of the state in governing itself since regulations drafted by “outsiders” are brought to bear and have an impact on the state (Scholte 113). At the same time, actors such as multinationals, many of whom have more financial clout than many a sovereign state, bring their influence and wishes to carry the day in giving states under the rubric of global governance. This is especially in situations where a state may not ordinarily acquiesce to the wishes of the said multinationals if the engagement was on a one-to-one basis.

Following World War I The League of Nations was purposed and formed as a frame work to ward off future world wars. This was meant as a forum to resolve disputes before wars start. This organization became the frame work for the United Nations set up as one of the most well known Intergovernmental Organizations today. Through the UN and other organizations global governance is on display.
Global governance is the act of governing or influencing organizations, states and other entities in regards to policies and agreements held. The UN plays a major role in this aspect more so when it comes to security and upholding peace agreements between nations. Governments pledge manpower and equipment support to ongoing missions similar to the peace missions in Kosovo and between Lebanon and Israel. .

This course introduces students by examining the multifaceted phenomenon of globalization. The focus on these issues is a multidimentional approach that integrates political, economic, historical geographical and sociological perspectives that created an increasing awareness of the interconnected- ness of peoples and places around the globe. The Contemporary World course is designed to provide students with an understanding of world events. To this end, the course provides an overview of the various debates in global governance, development, and sustainability. Beyond exposing the student to the world outside the Philippines, it seeks to inculcate a sense of global citizenship and global ethical responsibility.

Intergovernmental organizations were created for the nations to follow rules, norms but mostly to keep the peace amongst the world of course I believe the IGOs were created for the nations to meet at a common ground. Implying that the nations have to be functional on their own and keep evolving with the rest of the powerful nations. The authors have an optimistic view and tried to explain the institutional independence is important for the nations, more or less independent institutions may be more or less effective at promoting various objectives, such as reducing conflict or facilitating trade (Yoram, Thompson, 270). From a different scope the nations have to see all of the issues they have to be aware of if they are going to be independent from the rest of the nations like security, human rights, environment among others.
Intergovernmental Organizations have to play nice with each other and interact often in order to successfully attain mutual interests. In other words, socialization is not only a process but also an outcome (Kent,344). This is proof that cooperation is possible when negativity is set aside. Existing patterns of behavior within the nations show that coercion does not work effectively when trying to work together to bring peace and security within nations. There are consequences for every action regardless what a nation contributes as a whole, everyone can suffer negative consequences as a result of the bad actions.
China as a growing power country has been enhanced and working with the international organizations has facilitated the participation in globalization and modernization. It doesn’t seem like China is going to stop any time soon, China still has considerable goals to surpass the other great nations but meanwhile they have to play nice with the other nations. Participation has had the effect of protecting and extending China’s sovereignty, protecting and enhancing its international status, maintaining its strategic independence, preserving an external environment conducive to its own developmental goals, and promoting internal development aims through foreign investment, expanded trade, technology transfer, and development assistance (Kent, 348).
Globalization amongst business expansions are rapidly increasing but I don’t agree that power is used and abused as the authors Grant and Keohane claim. The authors are expressing their thoughts through their conventional standpoint. There are standards yes but when it comes to accountability the nations have to be responsible and held accountable for keeping in touch with the rest of the leaders. There might be some communication problems with a few of the international organizations but don’t blame the rest of the organizations. Checks and balances are mechanisms designed to prevent action that oversteps legitimate boundaries by requiring the cooperation of actors with different institutional interests to produ.

I noticed two important themes in this weeks’ readings. First, the lack of consensus for defining international organizations (IOs) (Duffield 2007, Iriye 2004). This falls in line with my undergraduate Homeland Security studies and the lack of consencus for defining domestic terrorism. How can we really talk about something if we don’t agree on the basics? Reprocussions are readily visible thorughout “society”. Second, though not a recurring theme in our literature but to our current state of national politics is, “the international relations literature remains unnecessarily balkanized as adherents of different conceptions talk past one another, when they attempt to communicate at all” (Duffield 2007). So, scholars do not agree on definitions nor, as is suggested, will they listen to various points of view (ibid). I’m not sure which is more disconcerting.
I do like Iriye’s (2004) differentiation of the two types of IOs, one formed by states, such and the UN, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). I see them both as gap-fillers (much like the third theme running through our reading…gaps in literature). NGO’s such as Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) (BRAC 2020, CHAI 2019) play such a large, global humanitarian role in health care, sexual violence, access to medical care, ect. The World Bank (1995) clearly stated their importance when defining NGOs stating, “private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services or undertake community development”. Mondal, Chowdhury and Basu concluded NGOs have faster reponse times due to less bureaucracy (2015). US disaster response is built on an escalting scale beginning with local response then escalating upward when resources are depleted or overwhelmed (FEMA 2011). Sometimes communication between agencies is disrupted, procedures unclear or not clearly communicated (Cole and Fellows 2008). The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), synonymous in the western world with relief through pop culture reference in movies (care packages provided to POWs), as well as disaster relief drives, is not an NGO (ICRC n.d). It functions independently from government based on its mandate and legal status.
I believe NGOs such as the ones previously listed are most crucial international politics for one reason; suffering should have nothing to do with politics. Whether it is a earthquake in Iran, a Hurricane in Puerto Rico, a cyclone in Bangledash, or famine in multiple African countries (Oxfam 2020), governments have limitations in funding, organization, and training. Chandra and Acosta note the importance of NGOs in disaster recovery but also note limitations such as lack of coordination with governemnt agencies (2009). As previously stated, NGOs are gap fillers mean to augment response or fill a.
Well being and economic growth: a case study of Costa Rican development by Da...Danika Tynes, Ph.D.
This exploration is pursued through the application of happiness research, which has demonstrated the mis-alignment of economic growth and happiness to explore the fundamental research question: ‘Are we measuring the wrong thing?’ And, specifically reviews whether the prevailing MDG indicators are useful predictors of progress and development. It is considered whether a shift toward focus on self-growth can replace economic growth as the fundamental institutional push and better facilitate achievement of the desired state of equilibrium in the world.
When are international organisations effective in international politicsAmougou Aristide Agbor
For international organisations to be effective, their leadership must be able to consolidate the trust of member states and secure sufficient resources from them to fulfil assigned mandates and objectives. As entities devoid of autonomous enforcement capabilities, international institutions are effective when they build credibility, strengthen appropriate agency relationships and avoid mission creep.
Decentralization and Decentralized Cooperation in Cameroon: The Futile and Co...AJHSSR Journal
The Cameroon political economy was pressured by home and foreign realities to adopt a
constitution in 1996 that provided ample space for the blossoming of new ideas in governance like
decentralization and decentralized cooperation. Though the application of all the potent elements of this
constitution remained in abeyance, decentralization provided an escape valve for those who found the hyper
centralization suffocating. It was deal which sought to drift away from the Jacobin French system of power
sharing and control wherein all powers and decisions rest in the center and for the most part in the hands of one
man. Theoretically, decentralization was introduced as a ploy to take power closer to the people and ensure
popular participation in decision making thereby ensure prompt control and evaluation of locally orientated
projects. After functioning for some time, decentralization for the case of Cameroon gave birth to decentralized
cooperation. In fact decentralized cooperation is considered by some authors as the “daughter” of
decentralization. Decentralized cooperation that is in function in Cameroon since 2011 has seemingly not been
very effective. As appealing as this project appeared its implementation suffered from conflicting groups of
personal and collective interests all of them hinged to corruption and insincerity on the part of the governing.
Even with the introduction of the decentralized cooperation‟s in 2011 that could help enhance the project, there
were still contradiction that made the implementation to remain for the most part a dream project. From palpable
evidences drawn from primary and secondary sources, this paper attempt a portrait of how the initiatives that
were deployed in getting decentralization to work became conflicting and therefore futile. It sums up the
governmental/indigenous responsibilities to the failure of this project. From its narrative it opines that
decentralization as governance approach seemed to have been hired in Cameroon to serve international policy
design that addressing crucial home realities.

Chapter 1 Global Issues: Challenges of Globalization
A GROWING WORLDWIDE CONNECTEDNESS IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION HAS GIVEN CITIZENS MORE OF A VOICE TO EXPRESS THEIR DISSATISFACTION. In Brazil, Protestors calling for a wide range of reforms marched toward the soccer stadium where a match would be played between Brazil and Uruguay.
Learning Objectives
1. 1.1Identify important terms in international relations
2. 1.2Report the need to adopt an interdisciplinary approach in understanding the impact of new world events
3. 1.3Examine the formation of the modern states with respect to the thirty years’ war in 1618
4. 1.4Recall the challenges to the four types of sovereignty
5. 1.5Report that the European Union was created by redefining the sovereignty of its nations for lasting peace and security
6. 1.6Recall the influence exerted by the Catholic church, transnational companies, and other NGOs in dictating world events
7. 1.7Examine how globalization has brought about greater interdependence between states
8. 1.8Record the major causes of globalization
9. 1.9Review the most important forms of globalization
10. 1.10Recount the five waves of globalization
11. 1.11Recognize reasons as to why France and the US resist globalization
12. 1.12Examine the three dominant views of the extent to which globalization exists
Revolutions in technology, finance, transportation, and communications and different ways of thinking that characterize interdependence and globalization have eroded the power and significance of nation-states and profoundly altered international relations. Countries share power with nonstate actors that have proliferated as states have failed to deal effectively with major global problems.
Many governments have subcontracted several traditional responsibilities to private companies and have created public-private partnerships in some areas. This is exemplified by the hundreds of special economic zones in China, Dubai, and elsewhere. Contracting out traditional functions of government, combined with the centralization of massive amounts of data, facilitated Edward Snowden’s ability to leak what seems to be an almost unlimited amount of information on America’s spying activities.
The connections between states and citizens, a cornerstone of international relations, have been weakened partly by global communications and migration. Social media enable people around the world to challenge governments and to participate in global governance. The prevalence of mass protests globally demonstrates growing frustration with governments’ inability to meet the demands of the people, especially the global middle class.
The growth of multiple national identities, citizenships, and passports challenges traditional international relations. States that played dominant roles in international affairs must now deal with their declining power as global power is more diffused with the rise of China, India, Brazil, and other emerging market countries. States are i.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. 1. Why is Global Governance multi-faceted?
As distinct global matters continue to transpire consciously, it compromises such adverse effects
that can mostly put a state with its citizens at such a depriving disadvantage. For instance, war
occurrences have afflicted people's quality of life and affected some countries' economic status.
However, humanity has persisted for millennia in discovering methods to efficiently manage
international affairs and avert the chaos and conflict that have existed in the past centuries. As
institutions that advocated for worldwide leadership arose, they played a role in founding
international order and consolidating state unity across the globe by enacting the fundamentals of
global governance.
Increased interconnection among nations has advanced the exchange of knowledge by bringing
peoples, cultures, communities, and states closer in an era in which issues call for increased
international collaboration (Bhagwati, 2004; McGrew, 2019). As cited by Jang, McSparren, and
Rashchupkina (2016), the scope of contemporary issues has become "global" beyond the state
government's capacity to address such issues. The former United Nations (UN) Secretary-General,
Kofi Annan, acknowledged that "no State, however powerful, can protect itself on its own" and that
"the threats we face are interconnected". According to Ramkissoon (2017), the system of global
governance is multifaceted because it encompasses several global areas of governance including
security, justice, human rights, development, trade, and finance. Global governance involves many
actors, such as intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), multinational corporations (MNCs),
international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), and states and non-state actors (NSAs).
It is indeed a fact that due to the globalization process, the existence of global governance was
formulated. As we live in one globe, it can be accentuated that we are bound to be affected and
experience the consequences of worldwide detriments. Meanwhile, fortifying and consolidating
interconnectedness among nations is essential to amplifying international camaraderie in times of
crisis. As a result, broad branches of cooperative and competitive interconnectivity among
sovereign states, transnational corporations (TNCs), expert networks, and civil societies have
surfaced, shaping the current structure flow of global governance. Likewise, global governance is
composed of diverse multiple governance aspects because it has a more expansive scope to
function its authority and legitimacy that aims to primarily accommodate and tackle significant
international issues on a global tier. To boot, executing global governance may include facing
global challenges that demand precise legal and economic competencies and a vast range of
technical knowledge and skills to operate cultural mediation.
Per the United Nations (2014), global governance encompasses the totality of institutions, policies,
norms, procedures, and initiatives through which states and their citizens try to bring more
predictability, stability, and order to their responses to transnational challenges. Carin, Higgott,
Scholte, Smith, & Stone (2006) also emphasize that the multifaceted complex of global-scale
governance does not stand alone. The various trans-world regulatory institutions and structures are
intimately interlinked with other governance apparatuses in the local, country, and regional spheres.
As Weiss (2013) also stated, global governance encompasses a wide variety of cooperative
problem-solving arrangements that may be visible but informal (e.g., practices or guidelines
governing private military companies or NGO participation in intergovernmental conferences) or
result from temporary units (e.g., coalitions of the willing in Iraq). Such arrangements may also be
more formal, taking the shape of intricate rules (international law and treaties governing the laws of
war or trade practices) as well as constituted organizations with administrative structures and
well-established practices to manage collective affairs by a variety of civil society actors at all levels.
Through various such mechanisms and arrangements, we can observe that sometimes collective
interests are articulated, rights and obligations are established, and differences are mediated.
Global governance aims to convey peace, security, dispute resolution, mediation mechanisms,
functional markets, and regulated trade and industrial standards. It also contemplates declarations
from institutions, processes, conventions, formal agreements, and informal systems that are solely
2. for the common benefit of everyone. In line with this, upholding the embodiment of
intergovernmental cooperation among state leaders is critical in achieving global development
goals, especially in policy decision-making and norm-setting. Furthermore, global governance
brings diverse actors together to collaborate on collective action internationally. In addition,
numerous alliances typically affect global governance as intermediary bodies. For instance, the
United Nations, the European Union, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are some
organizations that coordinate the policies of their constituents in a particular geographic jurisdiction.
As well as this, global governance is a fragmented and complex administration system that displays
many facets of the prevalent political, economic, environmental, and societal problems. The global
governance perspective strives to examine voids in the international system to supervise
complicated issues and to pledge stakeholders on practical measures for collective
problem-solving. Concurrently with its actors, global governance mandates sustainable and
strategic goals that can ameliorate the overall globe's different sectors, especially those in
developing and peripheral countries. It also focuses on informing successful multilateral
negotiations on assembling or reforming institutions and constructively contending recent
transnational actors from the civil society and private sectors.
Generally, global governance encompasses legislating, monitoring, and enforcing ordinances
internationally. In the bargain, the robust emergence of global governance actors seeks to
contribute to solving and dealing with interdependent issues. As intergovernmental cooperation is
at the center of the global partnership for development, effective global governance can only be
perpetrated with implicit international cooperation and mutual sovereignty respect among states.
Similarly, participating countries can simulate global awareness by integrating global governance in
building networks. Given this, exemplary global governance can conform as a beacon in our rapidly
globalizing society as it guides us through the modifications in modern human connections.
