Part 1

4. Global Governance

• Global governance refers to the way in which global affairs are managed
• Global governance typically involves a range of actors including states, as well as
regional and international organizations, now also INGOs (!)
• Global governance is an international process of consensus-forming which generates
guidelines and agreements that affect national governments and international
corporations
The process of international organization, during which sovereign states start getting into
groups to coordinate their national policies and jointly develop some unified policies and
rules in the international landscape, is called
MULTILATERALISM
is the practice of coordinating national policies in groups of three or more states
2005, Robert Keohane, After Hegemony: Cooperation and discord in the World Economy
• These days – new interconnected global challenges (geopolitical, economic,
environmental, social and technological) are prompting proliferation and diversification of
actors, forums, and their arrangements, which causes certain fragmentation of global
governance – i.e. emergence of the so called “contested multilateralism” (!)

5. Modern Contested Multilateralism

• “Contested multilateralism” is perceived positively as it is considered
that institutional and organizational diversity could produce better
outcomes in dealing with persisting and emerging global challenges,
and could fill existing governance gaps;
• Hard and soft law international governance:
• Bretton-Woods and UN System institutions (40ies of XX century) – formal,
hard law, broadly multilateral, heavily organized bureaucracies
• New informal multilateral institutions (end of XX century) – smaller
membership, lighter legal obligations (soft law), less bureaucracy, greater
reliance on flexible voluntary approaches with absence of legally binding
commitments).
• These new informal groupings set their agenda and engage with
established formal international organizations in pursuing global
governance matters. Some of them even assume leading roles on
certain topics (e.g. G20 – on global financial regulation)

6. DEFINITIONS

An International club (forum) or para-organization (from Greek “para” –
analogous, similar to a traditional international organization) is a noninstitutionalized informal association of countries (leaders of the world
economy) and/or financial institutions established to discuss and elaborate
decisions on the most important aspects of international economic and financial
collaboration.
Any international para-organization (forum, club) possesses some characteristics
of an organization but is not being technically the one due to the lack of:
1. A foundation agreement, charter, specified membership criteria,
2. International legal personality,
3. The right to take legally qualified decisions
International para-organizations are noted for more flexible patterns of
relations between participants, and the lack of strict regulation (coordinating
bodies functioning between the meetings, scientific and program committees, as
well as a range of public events)
Governmental – G7, G20, Paris Club, APEC, BRICS
Nongovernmental – London Club, Bilderberg Club, Davos Forum

7. “Group of Seven” (G7) - background

Originally, the G6 was established by the meeting of heads of governments of France,
USA, UK, West Germany, Italy and Japan, held in France (Chateau de Rambouillet) on
November 15-17, 1975 (since early 1970-s such meetings have been held at the level
of ministries of finance);
WHY? The reason for establishing:
The idea to hold summits of the most developed countries appeared in early 1970-s in
connection with the economic crisis and growing controversies between the USA,
Western Europe and Japan on economic (first of all - trade) and financial issues
The first meeting (November 15-17, 1975) held at the initiative of the then French
President Valery Giscard d’Estaing, was attended by the heads of state and
governments of six countries: USA, Japan, France, UK, West Germany, Italy. The
summit adopted a joint Declaration on economic problems, which contained a call
to avoid aggression in the world trade and prevent the setting of new discrimination
barriers.
In 1976, the “Group of Six” transformed into the “Group of Seven” with the inclusion
of Canada, and during 1991-2002 has gradually (based on “7+1” pattern) formed the
“Group of Eight” with Russia’s participation (since 1996, after the summit in Moscow
until March 2014)

9. “Group of twenty” (G20)

Meetings at the level of
ministers of finance and
central bank governors
• The Group of Twenty is a leading Forum for international cooperation on the
most important aspects of international economic and financial agenda.
1. Policy coordination between G20 countries to achieve global economic stability and
sustainable growth;
2. Promotion of financial regulation that would help reduce risks and prevent future financial
crises;
3. Creation of new international financial architecture.
• The trigger for establishing: financial crisis of 1997-1998 demonstrated
vulnerability of the international financial system under the globalization of
economic relations, and showed that key developing economies are
insufficiently involved in the discussion and management of the global
economy
• The decision to establish the Group of Twenty was made by the meeting of
the ministers of finance and central bank governors from G7 countries in
Washington in September 1999)
• From 2000 till 2008 - G20 meetings were held at the level of ministers of
finance and heads of CBs

12.

13. BRICS Forum

• The acronym "BRICs" was invented in 2001 by economist Jim O'Neill, of Goldman Sachs, in a report on
growth prospects for the economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China – which together represented a
significant share of the world's production and population (fastest growing economies)
• In 2006, the four countries initiated a regular informal diplomatic coordination, with annual
meetings of Foreign Ministers at the margins of the General Debate of the UN General Assembly
(UNGA)
• This successful interaction led to the decision that the dialogue was to be carried out at the level of
Heads of State and Government in annual Summits.
• As of the First Summit, held in Yekaterinburg in 2009, the depth and scope of the dialogue among
the Members of BRICs – which became BRICS in 2011 with the inclusion of South Africa – was further
enhanced.
• BRICS became a new and promising political-diplomatic entity, far beyond the original concept
tailored for the financial markets (!)
• At its 6th Summit, the BRICS established the New Development Bank, aimed at financing
infrastructure and sustainable development projects in the BRICS and other developing countries
• BRICS also created the Contingent Reserves Arrangement (CRA), a special fund with an initial sum of
US$ 100 billion, through which the BRICS countries will be able to use to cope with short-term
liquidity pressures, will contribute to international financial stability, by providing an additional line of
defense to the BRICS.

‘BRICS @ 15: Intra-BRICS Cooperation for Continuity, Consolidation and Consensus’.
BRICS celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2021
The Summit took a look back at the journey traversed thus far since the first meeting of BRIC Foreign Ministers
on the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York in 2006, to review the achievements and contributions of
BRICS to the global agenda and also to our national growth stories.
All past years BRICS has been a beacon (lighthouse) of multilateralism based on equality, mutual respect and trust.
The approach of BRICS operation is to strengthen the founding principles of BRICS cooperation based on continuity,
consolidation and consensus.
Three pillars of intra-BRICS cooperation in 2021.
1. Political and Security:
To enhance cooperation and dialogue on issues of global and regional security, developments in the global political space for peace,
security and prosperity. Our priorities under this pillar are:
Reform of the Multilateral System
Counter Terrorism Cooperation
2. Economic and Financial:
To promote economic growth and development for mutual prosperity through the expansion of intra-BRICS cooperation in sectors
such as trade, agriculture, infrastructure, small and medium enterprises, energy and finance & banking. Recognizing the advantages
of using technological and digital solutions for the achievement of SDGs BRICS countries put special special focus on:
Implementation of the BRICS Economic Partnership Strategy 2020-25.
Operationalization of the BRICS Agriculture Research Platform.
Cooperation on Disaster Resilience.
Innovation Cooperation.
Digital Health and Traditional Medicine.
3. Cultural and People to People:
To qualitatively enrich and enhance intra-BRICS people to people contacts in cultural, academic, youth, sports, business, through
regular exchanges. Exchanges among Parliamentarians, young scientists etc. are also held.

16. Role of international forums and clubs in addressing global challenges

Important mechanisms in regulation of the global market and global
international relations
Coordination between the states in connection with global changes
Elaboration of consolidated decisions and assumption of obligations to
fulfill them
Consolidation of financial resources to address global challenges
Cross-cutting expertise of numerous forums enabling an integrated
approach to addressing the global agenda (security, economy,
environment, assistance to developing countries, globalization, etc.)
Flexibility and informal nature of para-organizations facilitates quick
response to global changes (!)

17. International Non Governmental Organizations (INGOs)

Part 2

18. What is an NGO?

• Usually Formal: the organization is institutionalized meaning that it has regular
meetings, office bearers, and some organizational permanence.
• Private: institutionally separate from government, though it may receive some
support from government;
• Non-for-profit, and if a financial surplus is generated it does not accrue to and
not distributed to owners or directors
• Self-governing and therefore able to control and manage its own affairs
• Voluntary, and even if it does not use volunteer staff as such, there is at least
some degree of voluntary participation in the conduct or management of the
organization,
“Third Sector” – a group of organizations and social space between government
and market.
‘not-for-profit’, ‘voluntary’ or ‘non-governmental’

19. NGO and INGO History and Evolution

20. NGO and INGO Proliferation - evolution

• In 1850 there were only 5 INGOs in the world
• in 1914 – around 330,
• in 1939 – around 730,
• in 1970 – around 2300,
• in 1990 – around 6000,
• in 2000 there were already 45,674 INGOs in the world,
• since then, every year hundreds of new non-governmental
organizations appear around the world

21. NGO and INGO Proliferation – these days:

• The number of NGOs operating in
countries:
• United States is estimated at 1.5 - 2
million.
• Russia has around 277,000 NGOs.
• India is estimated to have had around 2
million NGOs in 2009, just over one
NGO per 600 Indians, and many times
the number of primary schools and
primary health centers in India.
• 15% of total overseas development aid is
channeled through NGOs;
• NB! INGOs operate on all five continents of
the Earth, while the headquarters of the
largest and most influential of them are
mainly located in the developed countries
of the North - about 90% of the total
number of INGOs (Amnesty International
in London, the International Committee of
the Red Cross in Geneva, Oxfam in Oxford,
Greenpeace in Amsterdam, etc.)
INGO Pyramid

22. Drivers of NGO and INGO proliferation

• Globalization has exacerbated concerns over environment, climate
change, labor rights, human rights, consumer rights, etc..
• The end of the Cold War => democratization and technological
progress have paved a way for people to get together to express their
concerns
• Recognition of the need for new approaches and new players
helping address the developing economies’ issues
• Increased global focus on environmental protection, social
development and gender issues
• ICT revolution, development of the global mass media and social
networks
• Increased interest to peoples’ religious and cultural identity

23. INGO Objectives and Functions

46. Деловая игра

Заседание стран доноров по обсуждению острых проблем развития и распределению денежных
средств на реализацию пилотных проектов технической помощи для решения этих проблем.
Организация деловой игры:
Каждый студент играет две роли:
1.
роль международной организации, которая презентует ту или иную проблему и конкретный
проект, который может помочь решению проблемы, и просит денег,
2.
представителя страны из «Двадцатки», которая вместе с другими странами будет принимать
решение давать денег или нет.
Когда студент представляет проблему для финансирования – он межд. организация, когда сидит за
столом – страна G20.
1)При подготовке к семинару, каждый студент:
• объединяется в группу из 2х человек,
• они совместно выбирают одну проблему из приведенного в слайде списка, а также
самостоятельно определяют организацию (МО или МНПО), от лица которой они
разрабатывают проектное предложение по теме и его представляют на заседании
Двадцатки,
• страну Двадцатки. Для визуализации просьба сделать настольные таблички с названием
выбранной страны с одной стороны и организации - с другой, из бумаги А4.
2) На заседании каждая организация (студенты) по очереди презентует конкретный проект,
предлагаемый в помощь решения проблемы (не больше 5 слайдов и 5 минут выступления),
затемчлены Двадцатки задают вопросы,
3) В процессе всех презентаций студенты – как представлители стран «20» составляют свой короткий
список 5 наиболее понравившихся и достойных финансирования проектов,
4) В завершающей части каждый студент-страна выступает и говорит, какие проекты готов поддержать
и почему.
