Abstract

Two major processes of the late twentieth and early twenty-first have conditioned the emergence of global governance: emerging powers and globalization. Global governance is a process and strategy in which a plurality of public and private actors of different levels interact and cooperate without a common government, to handle specific denationalized problems or to provide transnational public goods. It is a house in the middle of the road between international anarchy and a world state. The European Union tries to be a global player and for this purpose has developed several global European strategies in the present century. Here is the last of 2016 with five major priorities. As a diplomatic actor, the EU is perceived and valued differently by others who interact with it in global governance.
