Abstract: Abstract Since the end of the Cold War, globalization has accelerated at an unprecedented pace and global issues have become increasingly important, making global governance a key research topic in international political economy. A review of published research on global governance finds that most have focused on specific areas or issues but few have discussed the basic theory or logic of global governance. With critical reference to the foundations of institutional economics, this paper aims to establish an analytical framework for research on global governance. This framework consists of basic assumptions, key concepts, theory (or the logical relationships among concepts), and core issues. Our goal is to reduce the cost of exchanging ideas and raise the level of discussion so as to promote the development of global governance theory.
