state actors like NGOs and corporations.
- Governance Challenges: The UN faces challenges such as legitimacy, effectiveness, and the need for reform to
adapt to contemporary global issues.

governance processes.
4. Civil Society and NGOs (Scholte)
- Main Concepts: Scholte discusses the role of civil society and NGOs in global governance, emphasizing their
growing influence and the shift from state-centric models.
- Concrete Details: The chapter outlines the strengths of civil society in representing diverse voices and advocating
for social change, while also addressing their limitations.

include fragmentation and varying agendas.
