Abstract

This article argues that the causes for participation in Global Governance are to be found in
part in the mere structure of it. In the debate about Global Governance, largely, the issue of
power is neglected. However, we certainly deal with a hegemonic constellation. Therefore,
the power is present and exerted in Global Governance. It is argued here, that the exertion of
power in Global Governance by the United States is causal for participation in it. The study
looks at the Global Governance of Counterterrorism, i.e. the Global War on Terrorism, and
the regional organizations of ASEAN and the EU.
