Abstract
Description
International organizations are predominantly innovative capacity-building measures for
the conduct of bilateral and multilateral diplomacy in an increasingly complex and symbiotically
interdependent global community. Thus, international organizations are important actors in
international relations for the conduct and operations of global governance. However, international
organizations have in recent time suffered crises of legitimacy and effectiveness due in part to the
current global wave of nationalistic aspirations accentuated by forces of globalization. To this end, the
paper situates these new forms of populism within the precinct of globalization theory supported
heavily by secondary sources of data. Using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an initiative
of the United Nations as a model, anchored on content analysis and review the paper argues that the
global transformative agenda for people, planet and prosperity could become the most effective
vehicle for promoting global governance agenda. It concludes that the twin tyrannies of poverty and
war, which fundamentally dominate the objectives of international organizations and by implication,
global governance agenda, can be defeated on a more measurable scale under the SDGs. It canvasses
that all the global stakeholders both in public and private sectors must intensify their collaborative
partnership in order to meet the vision 2030 target in the SDGs’ agenda.
