Conclusion to the Research Handbook on Global Governance

Cher Weixia Chen, Ruth Houghton and Aoife O’Donoghue

Chapter 27 in Research Handbook on Global Governance, 2025, pp 593-605 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This concluding chapter synthesizes key themes from the handbook, examining the challenges and limitations of global governance frameworks. It critiques the inability of existing mechanisms to prevent conflicts, address inequality, or ensure the legitimacy and accountability of international organizations such as the United Nations and Bretton Woods institutions. Highlighting the growing role of non-state actors and emerging economies, the chapter underscores the need for pluralistic and interdisciplinary approaches to address global challenges. Advocating for reimagined governance, it calls for breaking from imperial narratives and embracing inclusive perspectives, such as Indigenous and decolonial approaches. By emphasizing imagination and innovation, the chapter urges scholars and practitioners to rethink governance frameworks, fostering equity, diversity, and adaptability to meet contemporary global needs.
