  1. Global Governance and US Hegemony:A Historical Trajectory Alexis Álvarez Institute for Research on World-Systems Department of Sociology University of California, Riverside IROWS

  2. History & Conceptualization What constitutes global governance? Institutional Precursors: Monotheism, trans-continental empires, Magna Carta, capitalism, secularism, socialism, decolonization, modernity, universal suffrage, globalization. Globalization in its economic, material, linguistic, and other social dimensions is not global governance per se, though its fruition foreshadows its inevitable, cybernetic/legislative consequences. Integral Components: An interstate system (established during the Treaty of Westphalia), international organizations, and a geopolitical climate mediated by a hegemonic cycle.
