This research aims to contribute to the integral management of Global Issues. Topics whose complexity and magnitude is so high that affect all humanity, they are long-term issues and cannot be solved by one sole nation. They cannot be approached from a sectorial or separated analysis since their subject area is intrinsically multidisciplinary. Therefore, it is necessary to establish agreements and global regulations, as well as joint actions between multiple stakeholders, to confront them. To understand these issues at a full extent, the author underlies theoretical bases and uses the framework of Globalization, Governance and Sustainability processes as key references. The research focuses especially on Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) when tackling and managing Global Issues. It also deepens into identifying key elements needed to influence the capabilities to work together. The works stresses that strategic alliances are one of the best ways to achieve the goals and get results. The effectiveness of the stakeholders/actors involved may be even greater if the organization mechanisms are strong, it maintains its own autonomy and identity, and it is able to ally with other organizations to achieve common objectives. To this end, this research provides an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that allows laying the foundation for developing Strategic Alliances between CSOs, together with United Nations bases. The study proposes a methodological approach oriented to enhance the Governance of Global Issues. It promotes strategic alliances, mainly, among several Civil Society Organizations. The methodology comprises three major processes: the political process (linked to the Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on Governance) Analysis and Research Process (with research, evaluation and multidimensional analysis) and the Intervention Process (which includes Integrated Strategic Planning, modelling, and Informed Decision Making). Finally, the author develops a case study to apply the methodology. The results proof that the proposal is viable and that there is a significant proportion CSOs keen on participating in global, cross-thematic processes contributing with their ideas and proposals. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo contribuir a la gestión integral de los Asuntos Globales (Global Issues), aquellos temas cuya complejidad y magnitud es tan elevada que afectan a toda la Humanidad, son persistentes a largo plazo y no pueden ser resueltos por una sola nación. Tampoco pueden ser abordados desde un análisis sectorial o compartimentado, pues su ámbito temático es multidisciplinar. Por ello, son necesarios acuerdos y regulaciones globales, además de acciones conjuntas entre múltiples stakeholders, para poder afrontarlos. Para ayudar a comprenderlos en toda su amplitud, la autora los fundamenta teóricamente, enmarcándolos en los procesos de Globalización, Gobernanza y Sostenibilidad. A la hora de gestionar y afrontar los Asuntos Globales, la investigación se focaliza especialmente en las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC). También profundiza en la identificación de los principales elementos que condicionan sus capacidades para el trabajo conjunto. Se comprueba que las Alianzas estratégicas son una de las mejores vías para concretar los objetivos y conseguir resultados. La eficacia de los actores participantes puede ser aún mayor si se cuenta con mecanismos sólidos para que cada organización, manteniendo su propia autonomía e identidad, pueda aliarse con otras organizaciones a fin de lograr objetivos convergentes. Para ello, esta investigación aporta un cuerpo teórico multidisciplinar que permite sentar las bases para desarrollar Alianzas Estratégicas entre OSC, con el cimiento de las Naciones Unidas. La investigación plantea una propuesta metodológica orientada a la Gobernanza de los Asuntos Globales, promoviendo la creación de alianzas estratégicas entre, principalmente, diversas Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil. La metodología consta de tres grandes procesos fundamentales: El Proceso Político (vinculado con el Diálogo Multistakeholder para la Gobernanza); el Proceso de Análisis e Investigación (con la investigación, la evaluación y el análisis multidimensional); y El Proceso de Intervención (que comprende la Planificación Estratégica Integrada, la Creación de Modelos, y la Toma de Decisiones Informada). Finalmente, la autora desarrolla un caso de aplicación de la metodología, comprobando que ésta es viable y que existe una proporción importante de OSC abiertas a participar en este tipo de procesos globales, multitemáticos y multisectoriales, aportando sus ideas y propuestas
