global institutions
Worldwide governing bodies
Global institutions are organizations that operate across national boundaries to address international issues—bodies like the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization.
The term often carries critical connotations, suggesting powerful entities that shape policy beyond democratic accountability: Global institutions have failed to address climate change adequately.
