The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its suc- cesses and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned. DAG HAMMARSKJ OLD Humanity stands at a crossroads. These are challenging days for both the earth and for its inhabitants. Well-established norms of civility and cooperation are increasingly disputed, confronted, and even mocked by inward-looking and fre- quently xenophobic world leaders and other political actors. As we fully view the Anthropocene, a time when human beings exert significant influence over life on the planet, we are confronted with the potential for ecological disas- ter and the glaring need for collective solutions. Yet there is still reason for hope. International cooperation is flourishing in places: literacy rates are up, life expectancy rates are rising, interstate war is nearly absent. But one thing is clear: global governance, which at one point seemed merely prudent, is now absolutely essential for our collective continued existence. At the same time it is being rejected for myopic, self-serving financial, economic, and political purposes. The relevance of the work published between the covers of Global Gover- nance has never been greater or more urgent. As the new editorial team, we call for continued focus on the ways that global affairs are managed; we find a growing need for scholarly research and policy-oriented discussions on pub- lic/private partnerships, more inclusive governance, fostering consensus, inno- vation in capacity building, and finding ways to enhance and reform global institutions. We also encourage reflection on regimes as well as less institution- alized approaches to governance. One global challenge clearly entails convinc- ing reluctant publics, and actively obstructionist domestic actors, of the need ( KONINKLIJKE BRILL NV, LEIDEN, 2019 1 DOI:10.1163/19426720-02501001
