The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century

The Department of Political Science and International Relationsoffers both masters and doctoral degrees The graduate program isorganized around the theme politics law and global governanceGlobal governance may be defined as an approach to politics andpublic policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institu-tions of government It is global because it recognizes that virtuallyall problems on the public agenda - environment public healthcrime migration etc - transcend national boundaries in their scopesource and solution It is governance (rather than government)because non-formal non-state actors - nongovernmental organiza-tions interest groups professional associations and so forth - haveincreasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rulemiddotmiddotenforcement The global governance perspective does not insist thatthe traditional nation-state has collapsed or even that such a collapsein inevitable It does suggest however that we will increasingly livein a world characterized by powerful tensions between the formalgovernmental institutions of individual nation-states on the one handand a vast array of transnational non-state forces on the other It isthis tension with each set of forces laying claim to politicallegitima-cy that will shape the politics of the next century
