About the project The Global Governance Project (Glogov.org) is a joint research programme of twelve European research institutions that seeks to advance understanding of the new actors, institutions and mechanisms of global governance. While we address the phenomenon of global governance in general, most of our research projects focus on global environmental change and governance for sustainable development.The Project was created in 2001 with the endorsement of the Institutional Dimensions core project of the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP).Analytically, we define global governance by three criteria, which also shape the research groups within the Project.First, we see global governance as characterised by the increasing participation of actors other than states, ranging from private actors such as multinational corporations and (networks of) scientists and environmentalists to intergovernmental organisations ('multiactor governance'). These new actors of global governance are the focus of our research group Manus-Managers of Global Change.
