The Commission on Global Governance was an organization co-chaired by Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson, and former Commonwealth Secretary-General Shridath Ramphal, that produced a controversial report, Our Global Neighborhood, in 1995.
[1] The report was attacked by pro-sovereignty groups for calling for United Nations reforms that would increase its power.
The commission was established in 1992 with the full support of United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
The commission made a standard definition of global governance stating that “Governance is the sum of many ways individuals and institutions, public and private, manage their common affairs.
It is a continuing process through which conflicting or diverse interests may be accommodated and co-operative action taken.
