The G8 and Global Governance Series explores the
issues, the institutions, and the strategies of the participants in
the G8 network of global governance, and other actors, processes,
and challenges that shape global order in the twenty-first century.
Many aspects of globalisation, once considered domestic, are now
moving into the international arena, generating a need for broader
and deeper international co-operation and demanding new centres of
leadership to revitalise, reform, reinforce, and even replace the
galaxy of multilateral institutions created in 1945. In response,
the G8, composed of the world's major market democracies, including
Russia and the European Union, is emerging as an effective source
of global governance. The G8 and Global Governance Series
focusses on the new issues at the centre of global governance,
covering topics such as finance, investment, and trade, as well as
transnational threats to human security and traditional and
emerging political and security challenges. The series examines the
often invisible network of G8, G7, and other institutions as they
operate inside and outside established international systems to
generate desired outcomes and create a new order. It analyses how
individual G8 members and other international actors, including
multinational firms, civil society organisations, and other
international institutions, devise and implement strategies to
achieve their preferred global order.
