This course is a senior level research seminar which will address the politics of global governance. Global governance focusses on the establishment and functioning of global rules, norms and institutions in the absence of an authoritative world government. It examines the power and influence of states, a variety of non-state actors and formal and informal networks in shaping governance in various global policy areas. The policy area focus of the course will change from year to year depending on the instructor and students' research interests. Potential policy areas could include the global governance of food, the environment and human rights 'including indigenous rights'.
