Global Governance Facing Structural Changes: New Institutional Trajectories for Digital and Transnational Capitalism (Information Technology and Global Governance) - Hardcover

Contemporary global governance is a field of competing institutional schemes and systems of rules. We are at the juncture between old and new, not knowing how to interpret facts or how to explain processes-in-the-making. Yet, it is more important than ever to analyze new institutional trajectories and the emergence of new institutions to understand their interaction and how they can help renew collective action in a brand new world of global digital capitalism. International political economy and international relations theories have struggled to explain institutional changes as they concentrated on explaining international cooperation and order. This book provides a total picture of the interaction between remaining forms of international regimes and new institutional frameworks, with a particular look at the impact of new technologies on these emerging forms of governance.
