This book asks a multinational and multidisciplinary group of scholars and analysts from around the world to write on sixteen global problems. The individual chapters identify the successes and failures of international and transnational governance approaches in these particular problem areas and examine the conditions for their effective use. This provides the basis for a broad comparative analysis across problem areas and for the formulation of specific recommendations for governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and others actively involved in transnational and national governance. Jessica T. Mathews, president of the Carnegie Endowment, writes the foreword.

"Comprehensive in its coverage of global challenges, hard-headed in its assessment of what works and what doesn't in dealing with them, this is quite simply the best guide I've seen to the new world that confronts us."
—John Lewis Gaddis, Yale University
"An important primer for fresh thinking on critical issues in global governance, with evidence and argument for a practical and far seeing approach."
—Lloyd Axworthy, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Canada
"An enormous contribution. This book makes clear how intertwined the world has become and how the requirements for managing global issues will have to adjust. After reading this book it will be impossible to think in traditional foreign policy terms."
—Princeton Lyman, The Aspen Institute
" . . . cogently analyzes 16 of the global agenda's major issues, probing each for the light it sheds on the problems that inhibit fair and effective global governance. The collective result is a powerful and compelling statement about the present state of the world and where it is heading."
—James N. Rosenau, The George Washington University
As armed clashes last weekend show, north Lebanon is becoming a growing support base for the Syrian revolution. Sunni mobilization in support of the uprising in Syria is mounting and the Lebanese government is losing its ability to maintain its policy of neutrality.
The U.S. pivot to the Asia-Pacific has created both tension and opportunity in its relations with China.
The success of Germany's Pirates party is the result of its transparency and accountability. Sustaining that enthusiasm through national elections in 2013 will be a challenge, however.
