  • Global environmental governance after liberal environmentalism

    Jonathan Taggart, Jack Taggart et al.•ARTICLE•Review of International Political…•2026

    Global environmental governance has long been predicated on a normative compromise, commonly referred to as ‘liberal environmentalism’, which posits that addressing global environmental challenges requires the promotion and maintenance of a liberal economic order. Today, however, the global economy is fragmenting across its material, ideational, and institutional dimensions due to renewed geopolitical rivalry and the resurgence of state capitalis…

  • The battle for plastic hegemony

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Jack Taggart et al.•ARTICLE•Review of International Political…•2026•Referências: 21

    Plastics are a ubiquitous feature of contemporary consumer capitalism. Despite scientific evidence and public awareness of the mounting health and environmental impacts of plastics pollution, global production is projected to grow significantly. Going beyond firm and industry-level accounts, we introduce the concept of a ‘petrochemical historical bloc’ to better capture the diverse alliances of state, corporate, financial, and civic actors that c…

  • Institutional layering as (counter-)hegemonic strategy

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Jack Taggart et al.•ARTICLE•Review of International Political…•2026•Referências: 14

    The People’s Republic of China has recently announced several global governance initiatives, with the Global Development Initiative (GDI) at the forefront. Launched in 2021, the GDI is simultaneously embedded within United Nations (UN) frameworks surrounding the Sustainable Development Goals and supposed to advance ‘true multilateralism’ aligned with China’s broader vision for world order. In doing so, the GDI complicates both ‘status quo’ and ‘r…

  • Oligarchic sovereignty

    Open Access•Maha Rafi Atal, Jonathan Taggart et al.•ARTICLE•Review of International Studies•2026

    Contemporary technology oligarchs are reshaping global power through their control over critical infrastructures, political institutions, and ideas. Across six essays, this forum examines the territorial, temporal, and ideational ambitions of Silicon Valley billionaires, highlighting how individuals like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg exercise unprecedented influence over states and societies. From charter cities and netw…

  • Rebuilding the Ladder? Contemporary Contests Over Industrial Policy

    Open Access•Ilias Alami, Jonathan Taggart et al.•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2025

    Does the greater embrace of industrial policy globally signal the emergence of a New Washington Consensus? We show that the multiplication of industrial policies, while consequential, signals neither normalisation nor consensus. Rather, industrial policy is increasingly the object of contestation over norms and practices of state interventionism. To substantiate our argument, we first analyse two competing attempts to articulate hegemonic visions…

  • Competing axes of power in the global plastics treaty

    Open Access•Peter Dauvergne, Jen Iris Allan et al.•ARTICLE•Marine Policy•2025

    Headlines in December 2024 proclaimed the “collapse” and “failure” of United Nations plastics treaty negotiations in Busan, South Korea. This is, however, an overly simplistic and pessimistic portrayal. Progress on less contentious issues was made, and the meeting was adjourned with a commitment to continue negotiating in 2025 on the basis of the “Chair’s text.” Significantly, at the closing plenary, a majority of states voiced support for a “hig…

  • The Trojan Horse of Hybrid Governance

    Open Access•R Ralston, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2025

    This article examines the emergence of a hybrid institutional complex (HIC) in global plastics governance. By interrogating the structure, features, and contradictions of hybrid global plastics governance, we foreground the de facto orchestrator role of the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) that promotes multistakeholder partnerships to redress plastic pollution and to realise SDG 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production. However, we contend …

  • Chinese Development Finance and African Policy Space

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Han Cheng et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of International…•2025

    How does Chinese Development Finance influence perceptions of policy space across Sub‐Saharan Africa? This paper employs Grabel's concept of ‘productive incoherence’ to both describe the ‘new development finance landscape’ and to explore its implications for recipient‐country policy space. Drawing on an exploratory survey of elite perceptions and three country case studies (Ethiopia, Malawi and Mozambique), we find that Chinese Development Financ…

  • Plastic Partnerships

    R Ralston, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Global Environmental Politics•2025•Citada por: 3•Referências: 8

    The global plastic crisis has intensified over the past decade, pressuring corporations to address their environmental impact. In response to a UN resolution to negotiate a treaty to end plastic pollution, corporate actors have reoriented their sustainability strategies. This forum article examines how companies across the petrochemical–plastics industry have adopted a “hedging strategy” to undermine stricter regulations, promoting industry-led m…

  • Boon or Bane

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Benjamin Faude•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2025•Referências: 45

    This Special Section marks the tenth anniversary of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Progress on the latter has been dismal, with only 17% of targets on track. The contributions to this Special Section explore the global governance of the SDGs as a Hybrid Institutional Complex (HIC): a global governance complex characterized by institutional diversity in that it combines formal intergovernmental organi…

  • How Does Earmarked Foreign Aid Affect Recipient‐Country Ownership

    Open Access•Bernhard Reinsberg, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Journal of International…•2025•Referências: 48

    How does earmarked foreign aid affect country ownership, a central principle of the aid effectiveness agenda? Although earmarking was initially purported to reduce donor fragmentation and enhance aid effectiveness, recent evidence suggests that it may undermine ownership. Despite formal commitments to ownership by multilateral institutions and bilateral donors within the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), earmarking potentially strengthens t…

  • Global Development Governance 2.0

    Open Access•Sebastian Haug, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2024

    The proliferation of state and non‐state actors, along with increasing institutional complexity, has led to a qualitative shift in Global Development Governance (GDG) towards what we term ‘GDG 2.0’. Realising accountability in this context presents challenges due to growing actor diversity, institutional plurality and a lack of formalised accountability structures. Building on the introduction to this special section, we explore the potential of …

  • Rendering development investible

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Marcus Power•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2024•Citada por: 14•Referências: 23

    We critically engage with the so-called ‘Financialisation of Development’ and argue that such is neither automatic nor inexorable. We review and extend a body of recent research that underscores the extensive ‘work’ required by ‘big D’ Development actors to render target contexts legible, attractive, and amenable to private finance and investment. We introduce the framework of ‘rendering (Development) investible’ to help us unpack the attendant g…

  • De jure and de facto inclusivity in global governance

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Sebastian Haug•ARTICLE•Review of International Studies•2024•Citada por: 1

    Global governance institutions have increasingly ‘opened up’ to non-state actors, leading to more formally inclusive governance arrangements. This has prompted inquiry into the extent and the drivers of this inclusivity, patterns of participation, and the consequences for the legitimacy and effectiveness of global governance. However, while the measurement of formal openness has expanded, the quality of inclusion remains underexplored. We therefo…

  • A partial conversion

    Open Access•Ilias Alami, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•European Journal of International…•2024•Citada por: 5•Referências: 55

    To what extent is neoliberal global economic governance transforming in a world where states play greater roles as promoters, supervisors and owners of capital? Do these transformations signal a potential paradigm shift? To answer these questions, we focus on global financial governance and the trade and investment regime. We analyse recent policy documents from the IMF, World Bank and WTO – the ‘Unholy Trinity’ of neoliberal global governance. O…

    This article examines the emergence, spread, and potential future of ‘multistakeholderism’ in global governance: A global norm specifying that global public problems ought to be addressed by all actors who affect or are affected by them. While some suggest that multistakeholderism may dominate twenty first century global governance, its origins are unclear, and its spread is limited globally. Furthermore, the implications of the end of Liberal In…

  • A Decade Since Busan

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Jack Taggart•ARTICLE•The Journal of Development Studies•2022

    In 2011, the Busan Forum on Development Effectiveness announced the creation of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC). The GPEDC promised to replace the old donor–recipient dynamic in international development with ‘an equator-less landscape of multistakeholder global partnership’ (Eyben & Savage, 2013). Multistakeholder partnerships (MSPs) have since become the global governance modality of choice for the UN Sustai…

  • "The irony of choice in the "New Development Financing Landscape

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Marcus Power•ARTICLE•Geographical Journal•2022•Citada por: 2•Referências: 26

    The so-called "New Development Financing Landscape" has heralded claims of an "Age of Choice" for developing countries. Here, more diverse sources of development finance have undercut the monopoly of influence held by "traditional" donors: opening up greater "choice" or "policy space" for developing countries. This narrative, we argue, is a fiction. Instead, the field is characterised by scarcity, not abundance. Further, Northern and (re)emerging…

    A dialectical relationship between ‘big D’ Development (broadly, the formal interventionist, international Development sector) and little ‘d’ development (the immanent structures and processes of capitalism) is a concept widely invoked in Geography and Development Studies. In this paper, we ask how the d/Development dialectic is evolving under current conjunctures of emergent state capitalism(s). We suggest that, going beyond ‘containment’, Devel…

  • Global development governance in the ‘interregnum’

    Jonathan Taggart, Jack R Taggart•ARTICLE•Review of International Political…•2020•Citada por: 11•Referências: 22

    Global governance is widely perceived to be ‘gridlocked’, ‘unravelling’, and ‘unfit for purpose’. The legitimacy of old institutions is breaking down, yet new institutions struggle to establish themselves as viable alternatives. Though overlooked, global development governance is no exception. Heterogeneous development actors, approaches, and understandings increasingly characterize the field. However, attempts to create a common platform have fo…

  • Growing, Cooking, Eating, Shitting Off-grid Organic Food

    Phillip Vannini, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Food Culture & Society•2014•Citada por: 2•Referências: 16

    Though research on back-to-the-landers, smallholders, organic farmers, community gardeners and eco-villagers is copious, extremely little knowledge exists on off-grid living. “Off-grid” refers to a home or community disconnected from regional electricity and natural gas infrastructures. Off-gridder dwellers not only generate power and heat but in general also practice relative self-sufficiency when it comes to food production. Drawing from ethnog…

    Drawing from ethnographic research on Canadian people living off-grid we describe and interpret how people without formal training in architecture or construction manage to build their own homes. Our findings show that they do so thanks to what we call regenerative life skills. Juxtaposing our argument in the context of DIY (do-it-yourself) research and discourse we argue that rather than in a solo endeavor off-grid builders engage in relational …

  • Solar energy, bad weather days, and the temporalities of slower homes

    Open Access•Phillip Vannini, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Cultural Geographies•2013•Citada por: 13

    Solar energy harnessed through photovoltaic panels powers the greatest majority of the domestic electricity needs of off-grid homes. Solar energy can be rather easily stored in batteries; however, the cost of battery banks and the need to limit draining these batteries to increase their life, means that solar-powered home dwellers need to carefully monitor their energy consumption and reduce electricity use when solar energy becomes scarce. So wh…

Do these transformations signal a potential paradigm shift? To answer these questions, we focus on global financial governance and the trade and investment regime. We analyse recent policy documents from the IMF, World Bank and WTO – the ‘Unholy Trinity’ of neoliberal global governance. O…

  • Rebuilding the Ladder? Contemporary Contests Over Industrial Policy

    Open Access•Ilias Alami, Jonathan Taggart et al.•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2025

    Does the greater embrace of industrial policy globally signal the emergence of a New Washington Consensus? We show that the multiplication of industrial policies, while consequential, signals neither normalisation nor consensus. Rather, industrial policy is increasingly the object of contestation over norms and practices of state interventionism. To substantiate our argument, we first analyse two competing attempts to articulate hegemonic visions…

  • Competing axes of power in the global plastics treaty

    Open Access•Peter Dauvergne, Jen Iris Allan et al.•ARTICLE•Marine Policy•2025

    Headlines in December 2024 proclaimed the “collapse” and “failure” of United Nations plastics treaty negotiations in Busan, South Korea. This is, however, an overly simplistic and pessimistic portrayal. Progress on less contentious issues was made, and the meeting was adjourned with a commitment to continue negotiating in 2025 on the basis of the “Chair’s text.” Significantly, at the closing plenary, a majority of states voiced support for a “hig…

  • The Trojan Horse of Hybrid Governance

    Open Access•R Ralston, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2025

    This article examines the emergence of a hybrid institutional complex (HIC) in global plastics governance. By interrogating the structure, features, and contradictions of hybrid global plastics governance, we foreground the de facto orchestrator role of the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) that promotes multistakeholder partnerships to redress plastic pollution and to realise SDG 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production. However, we contend …

  • Chinese Development Finance and African Policy Space

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Han Cheng et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of International…•2025

    How does Chinese Development Finance influence perceptions of policy space across Sub‐Saharan Africa? This paper employs Grabel's concept of ‘productive incoherence’ to both describe the ‘new development finance landscape’ and to explore its implications for recipient‐country policy space. Drawing on an exploratory survey of elite perceptions and three country case studies (Ethiopia, Malawi and Mozambique), we find that Chinese Development Financ…

  • Plastic Partnerships

    R Ralston, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Global Environmental Politics•2025•Citada por: 3•Referências: 8

    The global plastic crisis has intensified over the past decade, pressuring corporations to address their environmental impact. In response to a UN resolution to negotiate a treaty to end plastic pollution, corporate actors have reoriented their sustainability strategies. This forum article examines how companies across the petrochemical–plastics industry have adopted a “hedging strategy” to undermine stricter regulations, promoting industry-led m…

  • Boon or Bane

    Open Access•Jonathan Taggart, Benjamin Faude•ARTICLE•Global Policy•2025•Referências: 45

    This Special Section marks the tenth anniversary of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Progress on the latter has been dismal, with only 17% of targets on track. The contributions to this Special Section explore the global governance of the SDGs as a Hybrid Institutional Complex (HIC): a global governance complex characterized by institutional diversity in that it combines formal intergovernmental organi…

  • How Does Earmarked Foreign Aid Affect Recipient‐Country Ownership

    Open Access•Bernhard Reinsberg, Jonathan Taggart•ARTICLE•Journal of International…•2025•Referências: 48

    How does earmarked foreign aid affect country ownership, a central principle of the aid effectiveness agenda? Although earmarking was initially purported to reduce donor fragmentation and enhance aid effectiveness, recent evidence suggests that it may undermine ownership. Despite formal commitments to ownership by multilateral institutions and bilateral donors within the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), earmarking potentially strengthens t…
