Abstract
Looking back, the concept of global governance seems an unlikely candidate to have survived into the twenty-first century. The more recent attention given to non-state global governance might seem even more curious. The terms are hopelessly vague; those who see legitimate political order stemming only from sovereignty and constitutions bristle against them, and what may look like governance beyond the state is much more often regional or sectoral than global. Moreover, despite protestations from its defenders that governance is not the same as government, its purposely close lexical connection to government invokes constant comparisons to the state and state authority, to which it is found wanting.
