Global partnerships have transformed international institutions by
creating platforms for direct collaboration with NGOs, foundations,
companies and local actors. They introduce a model of governance
that is decentralized, networked and voluntary, and which melds
public purpose with private practice. How can we account for such
substantial institutional change in a system made by states and for
states? Governance Entrepreneurs examines the rise and outcomes of
global partnerships across multiple policy domains: human rights,
health, environment, sustainable development and children. It
argues that international organizations have played a central role
as entrepreneurs of such governance innovation in coalition with
pro-active states and non-state actors, yet this entrepreneurship
is risky and success is not assured. This is the first study to
leverage comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis that
illuminates the variable politics and outcomes of public-private
partnerships across multilateral institutions, including the UN
Secretariat, the World Bank, United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF).
