Abstract
An Internet search conducted in 1997 revealed 3418 references to ‘global governance’. In 2004, the number had risen to almost 200,000 references and by early 2008, the World Wide Web lists well over half-a-million pages that include the term ‘global governance’. The figures indicate not only a fast growth of the Internet itself but also an increasing familiarity of the term ‘global governance’. Academics and political practitioners are talking about it with ease, universities offer degrees and courses in global governance, and the bookshelves with the ‘GG’ label are quickly filling. But what is all this ‘global governance’ talk about?
