In an age of war, climate catastrophe, pandemics, and political upheaval, this Research Handbook confronts the central dilemma of our time: humanity faces global, borderless crises, yet our responses increasingly retreat into fragmented, local silos. A vital, interdisciplinary discourse for reimagining governance in an interconnected world. -- Jay Jinseop Jang, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA The literature on global governance, while extensive, lacks one key element: it is rarely truly global. Whether it is focused on how great powers govern or how international institutions regulate, global governance has long been a topic on which Westerners speak to each other about the rest of the world. This Research Handbook provides a powerful alternative. It turns our attention to the real globe, including voices and insights from around the world and creating geographic, methodological, and conceptual plurality. This is the book on global governance we need today, one that lets us hear from voices that have too often been the objects rather than the agents of that governance. -- Anthony F. Lang, Jr., University of St. Andrews, UK
