14. Expected gaps in
Global Governance
According to World Health
Organization(WHO) there are 3
gaps in the global governance
sytem

15. 1. Jurisdictional gap between the increasing need for
global governance in many areas such as health and
the lack of an authority with the power, or jurisdiction,
to take action.
2. The incentive gap between the need for
international cooperation and the motivation to
undertake it.
3. The participation gap which refers to the fact that
international cooperation remains the affair of
governments primarily, leaving civil society groups on
the fringes of policy making.

According to Thankur & Weiss(2015) there are five
particular "gaps" in global governance:
Knowledge Gaps are important because if we do not
know the severity of a problem or if we don't have the
resources to investigate a particular issue, then this
could become difficult for effective global governance.
Normative Gaps after we understand that an issue
exists, it is essential to establish norms to address
that problem.
Policy gaps are related to the specific policies that one
can implement to address the stated problem.

17. 4. Institutional Gaps are the challenges of
implementing any policies that are put forth
by the international community.
5. Compliance Gaps includes effective
implementation, as well as enforcement.
