Transnational governance

Transnational governance refers to governance that applies beyond the boundaries of sovereign states while stopping short of full integration at the global level, or global governance. The state remains a key player in transnational governance but other actors from business, civil society, academia, amongst others, can play key roles in the development of global and regional policies as well as building structures of transnational administration.[1] Within a European Union framework, it is both a subset of governance in general and an application of it to situations outside its usual limits of corporate or governmental hierarchies, whether regional or national.[citation needed] When such disparate hierarchies within the EU find common goals, typically within a conterminous geographic area, they seek to achieve them by integrating their various policies and activities. The goals of transnational governance, especially for areas previously divided by the Iron Curtain or pre-EU barriers to free trade and movement of peoples, is to foster economic and social development.[2]
