Global governance enterprises: creating multi-stakeholder collaborations

Global Governance Enterprisesfocuses on a specific multi-sector alliance - the global governance enterprise - offering a detailed analysis of the context of their emergence, as well as how they are created, managed, and sustained.

Forrer considers the growing challenges to good global governance, and the role of multi-sector alliances in overcoming these challenges, arguing that such alliances should be considered successful only when they meet specific conditions that ensure that they are "doing well", and "doing good". By establishing a coherent framework to define what global governance enterprises look like across a wide span of sectors, the book develops a strong theoretical foundation for this type of alliance, and provides the reader with an understanding of the practical, operational realities of organizing, financing, and sustaining global governance enterprises.

The book includes several case studies that introduce this emergent form of global governance to many who may not be familiar with it, while also providing practical insight into their function. This book should be on the shelf of any professional or student interested in public management, governance or public-private partnerships.
