Globalizing Global Governance: Peripheral Thoughts from Latin America

Forging a New Security Order in Eurasia: China, the SCO, and the Impacts on Regional Governance

“…The emerging gap between existing institutional structures and changing power distribution can result in contested multilateralism, which describes strategies pursued by states or, increasingly also non-state actors designed either to seek changes within institutional arrangements or set up alternative institutions to address specific issues (Morse and Keohane 2014;Zürn 2018;Lisk and Šehović 2020;Ullah et al 2021). Since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis (GFC), governance issues have become ever more important in terms of coordinating global (and also regional) issues and challenges through multilateral efforts that engage and bring in emerging powers to allow them a say in recognition of their growing power, as well as to address normative questions of the what and how of governance (Gu et al 2021;Tsingou 2020;Breslin 2020;Deciancio and Tussie 2020).

As such, regionbuilding is regarded as a way of increasing autonomy to protect national interests from extra-regional powers, such as the US and the EU (Deciancio and Tussie 2019;Riggirozzi and Wylde 2017). In this context, and after the European integration process was perceived as a model for the region for decades (Grugel 2007;Kaltenthaler and Mora 2002;Sanahuja 2013), around the turn of the century, South American countries increasingly distanced themselves from the political and economic influence of the EU (Gratius 2017).…”

The deepening of the Pacific Alliance's commercial agenda: The role of policy networks in regulatory governance

“…These disciplines promoted especially by developed countries have involved nontariff measures that have often required domestic reforms with high adjustment costs for developing countries, which have not necessarily achieved the expected benefits. Different ideas and opinions have been exchanged on how global governance should proceed in relation to regional reforms (Deciancio & Tussie, 2020, p. 2; Tussie & Quiliconi, 2014, pp. 15–16).…”
