In this module, you will investigate the structures and systems that underpin global governance and look closely at the world’s major international organisations.
The course explores how these organisations – such as the United Nations and the World Bank – have grown and transformed since their formation, and also delves into the ever-expanding role of private institutions and authorities in the management of the global economy.
You will be asked to explore the historical beginnings of the current global governance structures and will be introduced to key global governance theories and concepts, in order to be able to analyse their role and relationship with key areas such as trade, finance, knowledge, business and the environment.
● Identify and understand the function and role of the key international organisations or institutions, actors and issues – both formal and informal – at the heart of current global governance.
● Demonstrate understanding of the historical roots and transformation of global governance structures and related international organisations.
● Examine and analyse the institutions, organisations, actors, processes and issues that make up the global governance of areas like health, business, finance, trade and the environment.
● Analyse and identify where global governance is currently failing in its role, or indeed how its “role” may need rethinking, and how its international organisations can be improved for global benefit.

ESEI uses the project-based learning and assessment methodology across all modules taught in our master programs. This means that you will work together in groups to develop projects that require creativity, team work, and problem-solving skills.
The main benefit of Project-Based Learning is that by the time you graduate, you will essentially have a portfolio of work to show which will be directly applicable to what you’ll be doing as a future employee or business owner.
It’s up to the teacher to decide on the format of the project – it can be a case study, a written report, a video, a role-playing activity, a podcast, or any other kind of media that gets your point across. The teachers create the project briefs and oversee the progress that teams are making week after week with regular check-in points.
