Reviews
Global governance is here to stay. Challenges facing our modern world are far beyond the capacity of single nations to handle and overcome. This book is about seeking new balance in a chaotic world. It is an excellent assembly of provoking ideas, critical views and examples on building new global arrangements. An essential reading for those who study, examine and simply care about safeguarding civilization by new enterprises of collaboration in a global realm of perplexity. Eran Vigoda-Gadot, The University of Haifa, Israel With globalization increasing the interdependence of governments, NGOs and private firms responsible for delivering services and conducting business and policy across borders, John Forrer's Global Governance Enterprises offers seasoned experts and newcomers to these ideas an accessible and compelling overview of the causes and consequences of globalization. Applied to very specific contexts, the booksees a way through the complexity in the development of enterprise networks. Christopher Koliba, University of Vermont, USA John Forrer's book brings needed illumination to the uncommon collaborations now becoming common-partnerships to solve societal challenges, amongst civil society, the private sector, and sometimes government. New skills and knowledge are needed to make these partnerships effective and John Forrer shows us the way. Tensie Whelan, NYU Stern, Center for Sustainable Business, USA John Forrer's thoughtful and in-depth analysis of global governance enterprises highlights, in a clear and succinct manner, real opportunities for state and non-state actors to make a positive impact on society. Today's global challenges cannot be solved by one government or entity alone - they require multi-level collaboration across sectors and regions. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs) can best be achieved through innovative partnerships and alliances, combined with a transparent and robust governance mechanism. Forrer's book is an excellent pathfinder and a must read for all disciplines. I applaud him for this important work. Amir A. Dossal, President, Global Partnerships Forum, USA
