The complexity of global governance (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Tobias Lenz

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 14:15 - 15:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 14.203 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This course provides an in-depth examination of the complexity of global governance and the challenges that this complexity poses. Complexity refers to the empirical observation that the density of global governance arrangements – international organizations as well as international agreements and treaties – is increasing, leading to interactions, overlaps and duplication of functions. After introducing basic concepts, we map the field of global governance complexity across different issue areas of world politics and examine its sources, dynamics and consequences. While the course primarily focuses on analytical questions, we will also touch upon normative issues related to the desirability of increasing global governance complexity.
