Global Public Goods: The Concept and the Theory
摘要
This chapter examines the evolution and governance of global public goods (GPGs), tracing their conceptual development from traditional commoning practices to contemporary challenges. It distinguishes between common good and common goods while analysing the transformation from rural to urban governance structures. The discussion identifies four fundamental governance gaps—jurisdictional, knowledge, participation, and incentive—and explores how Political Corporate Social Responsibility has emerged as a response to these challenges. The analysis considers how traditional practices and modern business engagement must adapt to address global governance issues whilst maintaining principles of justice, equality, and inclusiveness.
