Governance and citizenship

Part 1Governance

Global/regional governance is the complex of formal and informal institutions, mechanisms,

relationships, and processes between and among states, markets, citizens and

organizations, both inter- and non-governmental, through which collective interests on the

global/regional plane are articulated, rights and obligations are established, and differences are

mediated.

Pros and cons Community of researchers in our area is built

(not all are active) NoE is not on research which can be frustrating Young people involved on big scale (enough?) Research in our area was advanced and

popularised Many additional smaller scale projects were

invented (money?) How to keep a network alive beyond 2010 ?

(money) Bureaucratic pain
