Since the end of the Cold War, states and civil society actors have worked together through global governance initiatives to address 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. Bringing Global Governance Home examines how NGO engagement with a variety of global governance initiatives shapes domestic governance around climate change, corporate social responsibility, HIV/AIDS, and sustainable forestry.
