Whither Global Governance?

Catholic teaching on global governance rather guarded and this article argues that nuance was especially apparent in the papal encyclical Fratelli tutti. It could also be argued that the encyclical expressed views that were somewhat compatible with those often expressed by academic supporters of free markets and political liberalism who came in for some criticism elsewhere in the document. Within this school of economics, there is some welcome for the principle of international institutions combined with caution about some of their practical manifestations.
