Abstract
In many issue areas, global governance takes place through a multitude of non-hierarchically ordered forums with different memberships and mandates.1 These forums may complement each other, in the sense that they take up different but related aspects of an issue, or they may overlap, dealing with the same aspects of an issue. The various forums that are active in a given issue area are likely to differ in terms of publicness, delegation and inclusiveness, the three dimensions that form the framework for analysis in this book. Consequently, international governance can only properly be understood by analysing the interrelationships and dynamics between these various forums.
