Overview

Graduate study in the Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware department is organized around the theme of global governance. Global governance may be defined as an approach to politics and public policy that transcends the nation-state and its formal institutions of government.

It is global because it recognizes that virtually all problems on the public agenda - environment, security, migration, gender, etc. - transcend in their scope, source, and solution national boundaries.

Learning outcomes

It is governance (rather than government) because non-formal, non-state actors - nongovernmental organizations, interest groups, professional associations, and so forth - have increasingly been accorded legitimacy in rule-making and rule-enforcement.
