Global Governance: definition and current reforms
Brož, Ondřej ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Nováková, Jana (referee)
Global governance finds itself at the crossroads. Current system is, to some extend, still reflecting world from the first half of the 20th century. Therefore it has not reflected all the changes and is struggling to bring itself up-to-date. Namely, the significant changes in developing world and rise of developing economies seem to be the cause of global governance that is ineffective and out of date. Aim of this paper is therefore to point out necessary changes, focus on main actors of global governance and analyze possible directions that global governance can take in the near future. This paper will mainly focus on economic dimension of global governance. It will show why the new architecture should be build around G20, International Monetary Fund and UN and it will underline changes that are necessary in order to reflect current world situation and improve its legitimacy, effectiveness and power.
