Since the end of the Cold War, global economic and trade integration has accelerated; debates around the‘socialisation’of nation-states have provoked the emergence of Global Governance Studies. Unlike‘government’,‘governance’refers to a dynamic process, jointly or separately, managed by multiple actors through negotiating divergent views and interests. The rise of a global civil society, the network of political elites, and the knowledge class arising from the anti-globalisation movement have become the focus of sociologists. This article first maps out the research interests, drawing on the perspective of the intersections of international law and international relations, and considers the critical approaches of both the sociology of international law and international political sociology. Compared to the development of Global Governance Studies in Taiwan, this article systematically reviews the literature produced in Taiwan. Taiwanese research on global governance can be thematised into four categories: hegemony that hinders global governance, the transnational articulation of civil societies, various issues that require international cooperation (e.g. crime prevention), and Taiwan’s (re)positioning in the world–primarily concerned with governance mechanisms and distribution of responsibilities, with a lack of exploration of norms. Lastly, taking global health as an example, this article identifies how the normative principles of human rights-based‘good governance’have been subtly practised in global health governance and yet much neglected by political analyses that attend disproportionately to power dynamics between actors. |
