Global Agenda Council on Institutional Governance Systems 2011

Though no overall global governance structure exists, public, private and public-private actors and initiatives do address global challenges. But in too many areas global governance fails as a generator of norms, underperforms as a mechanism of cooperation, stalls when it comes to enforcement and lacks adequate accountability.

In the past the Council has focused on analysing the challenges of global governance. This year the Council will focus how key international organizations could improve their effectiveness in dealing with major challenges in the area of their activities through specific means and innovations.
