2 Contents Global governance as a structure, as a process, and as a mechanism. Historical evolution of the global governance since World War Ⅱ, current global order and challenges emerging powers and the new global order: opportunities and challenges

3 1. Multiple Perspectives on Global governance: as a structure, as a process, and as a mechanism As a structure: Structure means ‘system of rules’, ‘institutionalized modes of social construction. Structurally, the global economy has been sustained for many years by an institutional architecture consisting of major economic institutions like the IMF, World Bank Group and the GATT, created under the auspices of the Bretton Woods System, led by the transatlantic alliance after World War Ⅱ. As a process: Process is characterised by interaction and participation amongst different actors to coordinate and manage issues as they arise; it is therefore a ‘norm generating process’ through different ‘practices of governing’. Global governance is framed more comprehensively to encapsulate a range of actors exercising authority at the global level, justifying calls fro processes to become more partcipative and inclusive. As a mechanism: Governance is about decision-making and developing mechanisms and institutions required for achieving desired policy outcomes. Global governance can be seen more practically as a mechanism to make collective decisions, enforce global rules, and address common problems; mechanisms being collectively pushed by agents seeling to "govern" activities in their repsective issue area. (UNDP and CCIEE, 2012:11-13)

Emerging powers and global order: opportunities and challenges Given their expanding economic size and increasingly active diplomacy, the BRICS countries are gradually gaining greater influence over the internatonal decision making process. Managing the influence of these emerging powers and reforming global institutions will become decisive issues for establishing an effective global governance system advancing international cooperation reforming international financial institutions: IMF,World Bank and UN Security Council giving spaces to institutional initiatives such as G20, BRICS Bank, which will open up to the developing world new resources, experiences and understanding of the priorities of emerging powers.
