Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 70, Oxford University (Department of International Development), language: English, abstract: Networks have been seen as instruments to manage contemporary global governance. They consist of groups of government officials who exchange information, best practices and regulatory ideas. However, the network paradigm appears problematic. Networks tend to lack transparency, and it is unclear whether they can be hold to account. Most crucially, they do not possess the democratic features necessary to attain the status of participatory instruments for global governance.
