2) Question(s) addressed by the author and working arguments
In a world of such large, incontestably real political organizations, we might wonder why so many people spend so much time investigating an even larger, but more dubious, world polity or system of global governance and the politics that influences it. The contemporary growth of unregulated transnational economic activity undermines the democratic gains won over the last century.
The fixed amount of Northern aid to the South covers only the immediate demands of the growing number of humanitarian crises, and maybe contributes to servicing the debt incurred for earlier assistance. The role of global institutions extends well beyond their service as potential conduits of the charity of the rich. IMF, WTO, and even the WB through their promotion of unregulated economic globalization, have contributed to the growing numbers of destitute as well as to the growing privilege of the world’s rich. If there is global polity, then certainly is dominant ideology, now, is liberalism, both economic and political.
Must on the recent scholarship in international relations focuses on the international regimes, the norms, rules, and decision-making procedures that states have created to govern international life within specific realms. Some global institutions are increasingly powerful and secretariats can develop as much autonomy from their state members as the managers of large firms can have from their shareholders and corporate boards.
What is really new about global governance in the last decade is neither a shift in power from states to global intergovernmental organizations nor the kind of explosion of international conventions in which a change in quantity has meant a change in quality.
As a consequence of Neoliberal marketization, the services once provide by public intergovernmental organizations are now contracted to private, non-governmental, often social movements style organizations. State leaders, global businessmen, non-governmental activists, even the occasional international relations scholar, influence each other’s understanding of their own ‘interests’ and of the moral and social world in which they live. The global polity is not simple a superstructure responding to the interest of an already differentiated global ruling class.

Transnational economic activities.

4) Conclusions or Final Remarks
If the strengthening and democratization of global governance are not in US interests, there is no particular point in pursuing such goals until the relative power of the US sharply declines.
