Crisis of Legitimacy Legitimacy is: the capacity of a political system to engender and maintain the belief that existing political institutions are the most appropriate and proper ones for the society. Seymour Martin Lipset

A Crisis of Legitimacy

A Second Wave of Democracy If the first wave of democracy established elected and accountable institution of governance, but with a weak public mandate and an inert citizenry â&#x20AC;Ś

â&#x20AC;Ś the second wave will be characterized by strong representation and a new culture of public deliberation built on active citizenship.

Global Solution Networks: What is a multi-stakeholder network for global problem solving, cooperation and governance?

1. Diverse Stakeholders: The Four Pillars of Society

The State

2. Addresses a Global Problem

3. Exploits the Digital Revolution

It must be a 21st century network in the sense that it harnesses digital communications tools and platforms to achieve its goals.

4. Self-Organized Governance

The networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s membership, governance and modus operandi is voluntary and self-organizing. States or private corporations do not control the network, although it may have been initiated by a state or state-based institution and have since evolved into a true multi-stakeholder solutions network.

Taxonomy of Global Solution Networks

1. Knowledge Networks

The primary function of Knowledge Networks is to develop new thinking, research, ideas and policies that can be helpful in solving global problems. Their emphasis is on the creation of new ideas, not their advocacy.

1. Knowledge Networks

2. Operational & Delivery Networks

2. Operational and Delivery Networks

This class of networks actually delivers the change it seeks, supplementing or even bypassing the efforts of traditional institutions.

2. Operational and Delivery Networks

3. Policy Networks

Sometimes networks create government policy, even though they may consist of non-governmental players. Policy Networks may or may not be created or even encouraged by formal governments or government institutions. Some policy networks support policy development or create an alternative for policy. Policy networks also exist to create and encourage discussions on policy issues.

3. Policy Networks

4. Advocacy Networks

Advocacy Networks seek to change the agenda or policies of governments, corporations or other institutions.

4. Advocacy Networks

5. Watchdog Networks

These networks scrutinize institutions to ensure that they behave appropriately. Topics range from human rights, corruption, the environment, to financial services.

5. Watchdog Networks

6. Platforms

Some networks seek to provide platforms for other networks to organize.

7. Global Standards Networks

Non-state based organizations that develop technical specifications and standards.

8. Governance Networks

These are multi-stakeholder networks who have achieved or been granted the right and responsibility of non-institutional global governance.

8. Governance Networks

9. Networked Institutions

Some networks provide such a wide range of capabilities they could be described as Networked Institutions. They are not state-based but rather true multi-stakeholder networks. But the value they generate can range from knowledge generation, advocacy and policy development to the actual delivery of solutions to global problems.

9. Networked Institutions

10. Diasporas

10. Diasporas Diasporas are global communities formed by people dispersed from their ancestral lands but who share a common culture and sense of strong identity with their homeland. Thanks to the Internet these people and their affiliated organizations can now collaborate in multi-stakeholder networks. One of the functions of many of today diasporas is to address and help solve common, global problems.

Issues Regarding Multi-Stakeholder Networks

Implications for State Based Institutions

The stakes are high for the global economy.
