- Not enough GG and the GG we have isn't legitimate enough
- Solution: make more GG institutions and increase the legitimacy
- More pluralistic institutions, open, equal and democratic
- GG Deficit
- Realist / Marxist Perspective
- Right reflects might
- GG doesn't restrict the power of states
- E.g. action in Libya without the authority of the UN security council
- More recently, the use by Trump of weapons against Syria
- E.g. action in Libya without the authority of the UN security council
- GG reflects the interests of powerful states

- E.g. WTO encourages the capitalisation of smaller states
- Its institutions promote inter-state trade
- Expertise reflects political interests
- GG reflects western liberal norms
- E.g. the equality of women, which is not necessarily reflected in all societies
- GG as a sight of conflict and contestation, rather than harmony
- The unilateral nature of GG can promote diplomatic conflict between states
- Liberalist Perspective
- GG promotes peace
- GG transcends and restricts state power
- UN Security Council needs authorisation
- However, this isn't necessary and can be seen as restricted
- UN Security Council needs authorisation
- GG in general a good thing
- Elevates right over might and expertise over politics
- Fosters coercion and multilateralism
- Promotes universal liberal norms
- Constructivist / Post-Structuralist Perspective
- GG is autonomous from states
- GG embodies a particular form of power
- Right is might
- Expertise is politics
- GG promotes universal liberal, social, political and economic norms
- But these are also biased towards the West.
- Generates new identities etc favoured towards the West
- E.g. human rights, democracy, universal sovereignty etc
- But these are also biased towards the West.
- Too much or too little?
