OLIVEIRA PIZARRO, Juliano  and  DE MORAES RIAL, Carmen Silvia. Global governance: theoretical views and plurality of actors. Relac. int. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.54, pp.107-120. ISSN 2314-2766.

The objective of this research is to carry out a theoretical analysis of the global governance movement through the study of the main actors, articulations and alterna-tive mechanisms. The methodology used in the study was a bibliographical review of a qualitative approach. The criteria included the use of classical literature, articles and contemporary studies on the subject. The temporal delimitation of the research began in the 1990s, due to the rise of globalization processes after the Cold War, with the new multipolar order and the resurgence of neo-liberalism. So many changes occurred in international paradigms of political and economic relations between heterogeneous actors and plurals - nation states, multinational corporations, global civil society, interna-tional organizations, regional blocks - that the scenarios and spaces of power struggle expanded. These dynamics involve a plurality of public and private actors competing for space and relating at the same time. It is in this scenario that dispute for and control of the power dynamics of global governance are established, without necessarily a single world government anointed with authority. The contradictory, and sometimes not explic-it, character of global governance has presented theoretical challenges for any attempts to understand its operation and its evolution.

Keywords : Global Governance; Theories; Plurality; Actors.
