Global governance in a world of change
Global governance began in the mid-nineteenth century and accelerated
after the First World War. But it came of age in the post-Second World
War era. In response to the lessons learned from the collapse of international order between the wars, and the need to rebuild after the
devastation wrought by the Second World War, states, with the USA in
the lead, set out to create a new and comprehensive set of international
organizations to tackle a growing list of shared global challenges. Led by
legendary statesman like Harry Dexter White, John Maynard Keynes,
Dean Acheson, and Jean Monnet, states collectively recognized that their
joint interests in a reshaped world required new forms of interstate
cooperation, coordination, and collaboration.
