Cultural Influences on Public-Private Partnerships in Global Governance

Abstract

Global issues are often beyond the ability of international government organization to deal with alone. They emerge unexpectedly – the controls of the internet; violently and rapidly – the threat of bio-terrorism; or they are cyclical – the privatization of cultural heritage. These examples Masters has chosen have commonalities – they are global, they require action; member-states are not necessarily in concordance on their importance; and they all require global public-private partnerships by way of response.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Three as part of the delegation from India; two from Kenya; four from Switzerland; one from the Britain; five from the United States; and ten at the invitation of a regional or international organization.

  2. 2.

    Credentials were provided to civil society actors by India, Kenya, Sweden, Britain and United States. Only a single civil society organization was invited in its own right as an international organization – the Internet Society.

  3. 3.

    The UNTOC is actually silent on what constitutes organized crime. However, it defines an “organized criminal group” as “…a structured group of three or more persons , existing for a period of time and acting in concert with the aim of committing one or more serious crimes or offences established in accordance with this Convention, in order to obtain, directly or indirectly, a financial or other material benefit.” (UNTOC, art. 2(a)) Thus, the implication can be drawn that organized crime is the activities involved in, and preparatory to, the commission of serious crime by an organised crime group.

The works included masterpieces from every significant contributor to the Italian Renaissance and beyond. Young (1933, 740–745) provides a brief description.
