Abstract: 

We live in an era of denationalization where social interactions
increasingly transcend territorial boundaries and where states have lost
their ability to manage political issues independently of other states
(Zürn 1998: 73)¹. International governance conceived of as
the establishment and operation of social institutions consisting of
sets of rules, decision-making procedures, and programmatic activities
that define social practices and guide interactions of those
participating in these practices can partly re-establish the
problem-solving capacities of states and thereby enhance output-oriented legitimacy of governance that has been undermined by denationalization in the last decades (Young 1997: 4). Output-oriented legitimacy of government (“government for the people”)
implies that collective decisions should serve the common interest of
the constituency. It justifies obedience of the people because the
powers of government are utilized for the purpose of the management of
problems that members of a collectivity cannot solve individually or in
absence of governmental authority.
