This study adopts a global justice lens to examine negative spillover effects—harmful environmental and social impacts that countries impose on others via transnational supply chains and production networks. Using cross-sectional global data for 2019 and 2024, the analyses reveal a growing concentration of spillovers, particularly from advanced economies toward more developing ones. The findings show that higher national happiness scores are frequently accompanied by greater negative spillovers, which also indirectly reduce other countries' happiness by amplifying air pollution (PM2.5). This pattern reflects a global trend of “exploitative happiness” rather than “sustainable happiness.” The study highlights the limitations of current governance mechanisms in managing cross-border supply chains and calls for transparent data sharing, robust transnational regulatory frameworks, and transformative shifts in public awareness and degrowth-oriented lifestyles to achieve forms of happiness that do not exploit other people or the environment.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"302-325"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148209074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We undertook a policy analysis to reveal how interests, ideas and institutions shaped reform in IIA treaty practice to protect health policy autonomy in Australia and Uruguay after the Philip Morris investor-state dispute settlement cases. Arbitration appears to have had different effects on how the two governments approach IIAs. Interest-based, ideational and institutional conditions at play in Australia and Uruguay help explain this phenomenon: differently perceived risks and benefits arising from the different economic contexts and consequently negotiating powers, varying policy paradigms that shaped domestic negotiations and distinct international institutional networks the two countries are members of and facilitated policy diffusion. These conditions shaped whether there was enough political will to overcome path dependency and adopt stronger health safeguards. We found that a power imbalance between negotiating countries may trump efforts to adopt health safeguards. It is vital that more powerful governments adopt a paradigm shift that frames investment policies as tools to drive progress in social and environmental dimensions in addition to economic domains.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"230-245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70146","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148208901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a theory framework that enables us to explain why countries take on leadership roles in IIGOs, with a specific focus on climate politics. Governments do not assume leadership in IIGOs because they want to shape bargaining processes within traditional and formal organisations, such as the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC); rather, they do this for reasons particular to informal international cooperation. For instance, when governments take on leadership roles because they want to bolster their national green industry transition or help national corporate actors learn from green industrialisation elsewhere, then green industry transition is driving leadership. In contrast, informal diplomacy drives leadership when governments assume leadership roles to help them bolster their international presence and strengthen their diplomatic ties. A comparative case study of the leadership of three Nordic countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) within the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) concludes that both approaches contribute to explaining leadership patterns in the CEM. We argue that these dynamics probably also play out in other IIGOs, particularly in those relating to climate politics.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"178-188"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70154","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148208826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In several policy fields, MSPs have been criticized for a lack of accountability, resulting in efforts to redress this problem. However, it is still unclear how accountability challenges and shortcomings differ across partnerships operating within the same policy field, while little is known about how MSPs themselves understand and frame accountability. Using policy documents and interviews, this paper investigates accountability challenges across two global health MSPs: UHC2030 and Medicines for Malaria Venture. Our analysis shows that MSPs face different accountability challenges depending on their official and de facto responsibilities. We also observe that accountability gaps look different depending on how horizontal accountability is understood as well as on the prevailing logics (either public or corporate) that inform MSPs. Accountability and responsibility are strictly intertwined, and the ways in which accountability is enacted are directly dependent on varying framings of responsibility. Consequently, accountability is understood and framed inconsistently among MSPs contributing to the 2030 Agenda. Hence, the transformative potential of these partnerships should be understood in relation to the specific governance contexts in which these MSPs are embedded.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"326-337"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70158","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148209063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first section will be reserved for some conceptual clarifications on the concept of justice, on the distinction between age groups and birth cohorts, and on the specificity of age as a category for apportioning benefits and resources. Then, I will take up the issue of what is the analytical unit of justice across overlapping generations: age groups or birth cohorts. I shall try to disentangle the alternative between age groups and birth cohorts, on the one hand, and that between age groups at a snapshot and the whole life view, on the other. After a discussion of the latter alternative, it will become clear that also the whole life view will allow only a simultaneous comparison of age groups at a definite moment of time, though in the context of a distributive theory considering the whole life and its different phases. At the end, the age groups turn out to be the units of justice between overlapping generations in all three dimensions of justice. But while age groups are specifically appropriate for relational and political justice, in the case of distributive fairness, the comparison between simultaneous segments of different age groups should be assessed in the context of a distributive theory justifying the differential distributions at different ages. Any such theory refers to the temporality of human life, with different needs and capabilities at different stages of human life. I shall finally illustrate my age-sufficiency principle that I deem appropriate for distributive comparisons between simultaneous age segments considered as different age stages of human life.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"383-392"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70149","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148208823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the rise of global value chains (GVCs), exports often contain limited national content, and some ECAs argue that ‘national interest’ is more important. We examine how ECAs have responded through assessing the flexibility of policies to promote GVC participation. Qualitative evidence indicates ECAs pursue GVC participation, job creation and increased country competitiveness, often decreasing national content requirements to facilitate GVC participation. Our quantitative analysis provides converging evidence and suggests especially ECAs from countries with greater levels of income and competitiveness adopt more flexible policies. Their privilege of wealth results in a superior credit rating and allows richer countries to offer better-priced financing. Thus, lower income countries are at a double disadvantage: less able to lower national content requirements and thus less likely to take advantage of or upgrade in GVCs, further entrenching inequalities between them and higher-income countries. Long-term, we suggest lower income countries should pursue collaborative arrangements so their ECAs can provide more sophisticated offerings and enter GVCs strategically. Short term, counter-guarantee cover from international or regional bodies can make funding from lower income countries more competitive.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"274-290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70156","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148208828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these initiatives have generally had a limited impact due to their vagueness, lack of authority and repetition. Several factors contribute to the difficulties in establishing effective global AI governance mechanisms, including geopolitical tensions, institutional gridlock, and the general-purpose and sociotechnical characteristics of AI. Developing politically legitimate governance mechanisms that can operate within these constraints and effectively compel behaviour change among government and industry actors is essential for building a more mature global AI governance ecosystem. In this article, we contribute to this aim by introducing a framework for evaluating the political legitimacy of global governance initiatives. It is designed to clarify why many global AI governance initiatives lack authority and to identify opportunities for more impactful international cooperation. We operationalise the framework by assessing global AI governance initiatives which address two international security problems: establishing regulation for lethal autonomous weapon systems and implementing safety testing for general-purpose AI.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"189-199"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70164","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148208807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
