Global Governance: The Twin Challenges of Economic Inequality and Disinformation

abstract: Modern international interactions are structured by institutions of global governance, both formal and informal. Most of these institutions are encompassed by the liberal international order. Like domestic institutions, these international institutions are challenged by the prevalence and depth of disinformation. The demand for disinformation, in turn, has been fed by the order's lack of attention to growing domestic economic inequality. Disinformation and inequality thus present twin challenges to global governance.
