This article examines what contemporary elites think about global governance and what these attitudes might bode for the future of global institutions. Evidence comes from a unique survey conducted in 2017–19 across six elite sectors (business, civil society, government bureaucracy, media, political parties, research) in six countries (Brazil, Germany, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa, the United States) and a global group. Bearing in mind some notable variation between countries, elite types, issue-areas and institutions, three main interconnected findings emerge. First, in principle, contemporary leaders in politics and society hold considerable readiness to pursue global-scale governance. Today's elites are not generally in a nationalist-protectionist-sovereigntist mood. Second, in practice, these elites on average hold medium-level confidence towards fourteen current global governance institutions. This evidence suggests that, while there is at present no legitimacy crisis of global governance among elites (as might encourage its decline), neither is there a legitimacy boom (as could spur its expansion). Third, if we probe what elites prioritize when they evaluate global governance, the surveyed leaders generally most underline democracy in the procedures of these bodies and effectiveness in their performance. This finding suggests that, to raise elites' future confidence in global governance, the institutions would do well to become more transparent in their operations and more impactful problem-solvers in their outcomes.

精英态度与全球治理的未来

本文探讨了当代精英对全球治理的看法,以及这些态度对全球机构的未来可能预示着什么。证据来自 2017-19 年在六个国家(巴西、德国、菲律宾、俄罗斯、南非、美国)的六个精英部门(商业、公民社会、政府官僚机构、媒体、政党、研究)进行的一项独特调查) 和一个全局组。考虑到国家、精英类型、问题领域和机构之间的一些显着差异,出现了三个相互关联的主要发现。首先,原则上,当代政治和社会领导人已准备好进行全球治理。今天的精英们普遍没有民族主义-保护主义-主权主义的情绪。其次,在实践中,这些精英对目前的十四个全球治理机构平均持有中等程度的信心。这一证据表明,虽然目前精英之间没有全球治理的合法性危机(可能会导致其衰落),但也没有合法性繁荣(可能会刺激其扩张)。第三,如果我们探讨精英在评估全球治理时优先考虑的事项,受访领导人通常最强调这些机构程序中的民主及其绩效的有效性。这一发现表明,为了提高精英们对未来全球治理的信心,这些机构最好在其运作中变得更加透明,并在其结果中成为更有影响力的问题解决者。虽然目前精英之间没有全球治理的合法性危机(可能会鼓励其衰落),但也没有合法性繁荣(可能会刺激其扩张)。第三,如果我们探讨精英在评估全球治理时优先考虑的事项,受访领导人通常最强调这些机构程序中的民主及其绩效的有效性。这一发现表明,为了提高精英们对未来全球治理的信心,这些机构最好在其运作中变得更加透明,并在其结果中成为更有影响力的问题解决者。虽然目前精英之间没有全球治理的合法性危机(可能会鼓励其衰落),但也没有合法性繁荣(可能会刺激其扩张)。第三,如果我们探讨精英在评估全球治理时优先考虑的事项,受访领导人通常最强调这些机构程序中的民主及其绩效的有效性。这一发现表明,为了提高精英们对未来全球治理的信心,这些机构最好在其运作中变得更加透明,并在其结果中成为更有影响力的问题解决者。接受调查的领导人普遍最强调这些机构程序的民主及其绩效的有效性。这一发现表明,为了提高精英们对未来全球治理的信心,这些机构最好在其运作中变得更加透明,并在其结果中成为更有影响力的问题解决者。接受调查的领导人普遍最强调这些机构程序的民主及其绩效的有效性。这一发现表明,为了提高精英们对未来全球治理的信心,这些机构最好在其运作中变得更加透明,并在其结果中成为更有影响力的问题解决者。
