The world's problems-climate change, epidemics, and the actions of
multinational corporations-are increasingly global in scale and
beyond the ability of any single state to manage. Since the end of
the Cold War, states and civil society actors have worked together
through global governance initiatives to address these challenges
collectively. While global governance, by definition, is initiated
at the international level, the effects of global governance occur
at the domestic level and implementation depends upon the actions
of domestic actors. NGOs act as "mediators" between global and
domestic political arenas, translating and adapting global norms
for audiences at home. Yet the role of domestic NGOs in global
governance has been neglected relatively in previous research.
Bringing Global Governance Home examines how NGO engagement at the
global level shapes domestic governance around climate change,
corporate social responsibility, HIV/AIDS, and sustainable
forestry. It does so by comparing domestic reception of global
standards and practices in the BRICS states (Brazil, Russia, India,
China, and South Africa). These newly emerging global powers,
representing a range of regime types, aspire to become global
policy makers rather than mere policy takers and have banded
together through periodic summits to devise alternative approaches
to economic development and global challenges. Nevertheless, these
countries still engage the world primarily through existing global
governance institutions that they did not create themselves.
Ultimately, this book explores the interplay of international and
domestic factors that allow domestically-rooted NGOs to participate
globally, and the extent to which that participation shapes their
ability to mediate and promote global governance perspectives
within the borders of their own countries with varying regimes and
state-society relations.
