Book review: global governance: why? what? whither?

"Global Governance: Why? What? Whither?" Thomas G. Weiss. Polity. May 2013. --- Thomas G. Weiss is one of the world’s leading authorities on the challenges and processes of global governance. In his latest book, Weiss considers the chasm between the magnitude of a growing number of global threats – climate change, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, financial instabilities, pandemics, to name a few – and the feeble contemporary political structures for international problem-solving. Andreas Aagaard Nøhr finds another recommended read for students of IR and governance.
