China's Involvement in Global Governance: Historical Background and Current Phase

Twenty years into the current phase of globalization, a new field of transnational criminal law is in the making, expanding to cover issues as diverse as money laundering, counterterrorism, global banking, human trafficking, infringements of intellectual property rights, and cybercrime. The chapter introduces the concept of transnational criminal law (TCL) and deliberates on the dilemmas of TCL as applied to empirical legal phenomena before suggesting a sociolegal approach to further develop the field of TCL. In particular, the chapter brings to bear on TCL the rich debates within global governance and transnational legal theory. The chapter does this by decentering formal state law and examining the full range of technologies of governance, that nonstate actors increasingly propose in order to address transnational social problems.

This chapter examines the ways in which the European Union enters into international relations and engages with key processes in the world arena. It first provides a historical background on the interaction of an evolving EU with the rest of the world before discussing the main patterns of relationships and interactions in the areas in which Europe has been active. It then considers two centres of enduring tensions in the EU's external engagement: EU's engagement with processes of international cooperation and conflict, and with processes of global governance. It also looks at tensions that arise between the collective ‘European’ and national positions. They are between: Europeanization and national foreign policy; rhetoric and achievement; big and small member states; old and new Europe; and the concept of civilian power Europe and the EU as an international security actor with access to military forces.

The Eu

Considering the role of cognitive frameworks in international relations, this chapter uses the so-called ‘Rashomon effect’ as a heuristic device, showing how different views and accounts of effective multilateralism and global governance can coexist as contested discourses and practices, and how they shape expectations, roles, and practices of the actors and policies involved. The chapter presents Latin American perspectives of multilateralism and global governance, analysing its narrative and discursive logics. In a marked contrast with the US ‘hegemonic’ and the EU ‘normative’ approaches, Latin American views respond to the ‘defensive’ and/or ‘revisionist’ approaches, narratives, and discourses of the Global South, with specific regionalist and nationalist features grounded in its particular historical background and political culture. The chapter also examines how these views and narratives are challenged by deep changes in power structures in the international system, demanding a common framework.

Over Time

The purpose of this study is to examine the press within the framework of 'development journalism', a kind of journalism which is responsible for informing the public about the administrative changes and transformation processes experienced by the country, by considering the implementation of ‘new public management’ concept in Turkey within the domain of the ‘global governance’ and ‘globalization’ phenomenon affecting the nation states. It was assumed in the design of the study that long or short term social problems could only be observed in a time tunnel and that the dense break points were spread over time. When some anti-systematic tendencies are examined in the historical process, it can be seen that the order settled in the administrative area can be suddenly reversed by causal relation. Issues in the background of the current problems in Turkey, has been characterized by a feature of uncertainty under the influence of populist politics that have been exhibited over time by different governments coming to power since the cold war. There are many reasons for the historical background of some of the disruptions seen in the administrative application practices of the new public administration approach. These include the late arrival of modernism to Turkey; followed by dependence on international aid programs under the US and EU; being a party to international economic and military agreements; the time required to adapt the definitions of internal law to domestic law; informing citizens about the change and assimilating the transformation. There fore the relations between 'administration and the media' have been tried to be handled in connection with the global order. In many non-Western countries, utilitarian practices of the new governance conception that developed after the abandonment of open or hidden colonial practices have also created an impact on the development of journalism and the differentiation of journalism genres. 'Development journalism' has played an important role in reflecting public administrative changes in Turkey to the public, which was never subjected to colonial rule by the West. In this study, only a descriptive situation is detected. It is expected to be useful for studies on the ‘administration’ and the media relations to be carried out later, during the change and transformation process of Turkey to a presidential system. 'Governance’ and media relations are handled together within the scope of new public administration practices and ‘global governance’ concept, which makes this work original.

Law Making

Abstract Friedrich Kratochwil engages critically with the emergence of a global administrative law and its consequences for the democratic legitimacy of global governance. While he makes important contributions to our understanding of global governance, he does not sufficiently discuss the differences in the institutional design of new forms of global law-making and their consequences for the effectiveness and legitimacy of global governance. I elaborate on these limitations and outline a comparative research agenda on the emergence, design, and effectiveness of the diverse arrangements that constitute the complex institutional architecture of contemporary global governance.
