Abstract
Globalization has brought about many challenges to governments and electorates throughout the world. This point has been made so many times already that it sounds like a platitude. But many of these challenges remain unmet because the international system—and global governance—have not kept up with the dramatic technological, social, economic, and cultural changes that have taken place since the 1990s. Policymakers have been slow to grapple with them, and to revise the institutions and methods of international cooperation for that purpose.
