Abstract
The previous chapters have set out to examine the sharing of sovereignty in the context of the European Union. Later in the book there will be a closer discussion of what it might mean to share sovereignty at the global level. Before that is done, however, it will be useful to focus upon global bodies that already exist and upon regional unions apart from the EU that have grown in importance in recent years. Just what are the available options for global governance?
