Governance and citizenship
Part 1 Governance Global/regional governance is
the complex of formal and informal institutions,
mechanisms, relationships, and processes between
and among states, markets, citizens and
organizations, both inter- and non-governmental,
through which collective interests on the
global/regional plane are articulated, rights and
obligations are established, and differences are
mediated.
