Special Issue: Brexit - Past, Present and Future Half a decade after the referendum, the authors in this special issue of Global Policy set out to consider Brexit from a wide diachronic perspective to examine not only its complicated present, but also its past and possible future(s). The special issue's three sections contain four articles each, plus a special spotlight on the Irish border and the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol. Experts in history, law, political and social science gauge the ideational factors and historical pathways that prepared the way for Brexit; discuss the significance of some of the legal, formal and constitutional features of the process; and indicate probable consequences going forward. They aim to do justice to the idiosyncrasies of the UK’s exit from the EU and to draw out its wider repercussions and significance.

Special Issue - Trade Conflicts, Multilateral Cooperation and WTO Reform The articles in this Global Policy special issue, edited by Bernard Hoekman and Petros C. Mavroidis, cover trade conflicts, multilateral cooperation and World Trade Organisation (WTO) reform. Since its formation, with a few notable exceptions, the WTO's members have not been able to negotiate new rules on policies. The Doha Development Agenda negotiations, launched in 2001, quickly became deadlocked, and other functions, such as its dispute settlement mechanism, are also not performing well. Calls for WTO reform have, therefore, been mounting. These issues and more are unpick by contributors.

Special Issue - Global Power Shifts: How do International Institutions Adjust? Shifts in the international distribution of power create an impetus for institutional change. As powers such as China rise and powers such as the US decline, international institutions come under pressure to adapt to new power realities. Yet, the pathways to institutional adaptation vary considerably. What is more, sometimes attempts at institutional adaptation are successful and sometimes they fail. To contribute to a better understanding of such events, this special issue theorizes states and institutions' responses to global power shifts, and provides case studies that explore their attempts to adapt to new realities, gain legitimacy for their actions, cooperate with and see off competitors. Its contributors also discuss the broader implications of their research for the future of the international order and the management of global power shifts.

Special Issue - Contemporary Issues in Banking The financial crisis revealed limitations and deficiencies in the corporate governance of financial institutions on both sides of the Atlantic. Policy responses have introduced regulations focused on: greater oversight of risk‐taking; tougher capital and liquidity requirements; greater transparency on the remuneration packages paid to directors and senior management; and new rules on the composition of such packages. Banks have also been forced to boost capital, hold more liquidity and to implement improved risk, pay and operational oversight. Many have consequently taken greater interest in promoting good practices, strengthening corporate governance, fostering transparency and increasing sensitivity to environmental and socioeconomic issues. This special issue of Global Policy contributes to ongoing debates by analysing these and newer movements within the global banking industry.

It also hopes to develop an outcome-driven knowledge and policy transfer model for the SDGs. The articles were selected from papers first presented at the London School of Economics – IDEAS and Nanyang Technological University – Nanyang Centre for Public Administration (LSE-IDEAS and NTU-NCPA) Joint Workshop on the Dynamics of Knowledge Transfer and Governance in the Global South, held at the London School of Economics in November 2019.

Special Issue - Time and Space in the Study of International Organizations This special issue applies an original lens to an overlooked aspect of international organizations (IO) research, bringing (temporary) findings, but also suggesting multiple avenues for further research. It considers IOs as co-constitutive of multilateralism and investigates three main questions: (i) How are IOs influenced by time and space? (ii) How are time and space experienced within IOs? (iii) How do IOs influence time and space around them? Targeting Global Policy's broad and diverse audience, the issue's articles address both IO scholars and practitioners, encouraging them to reflect on their everyday experience of IOs and daily professional practices. Through its broad focus, it also intends to nourish ongoing discussions on the politics of time and space more broadly.

Special Issue - Restricting NGOs: From Pushback to Accommodation Since the mid-2000s, scholars, policy makers, and activists have been sounding alarm bells over the growing tendency of governments around the globe to restrict the ability of civil society groups to form, operate, advocate for particular causes, receive and use resources, and network with other actors. The contributions in this special issue examine how particular types of civil society organizations are impacted by this clampdown, how restrictions can change the balance between civil society actors with rival ideological perspectives, how restrictions can enable the rise of new civil society actors attacking existing CSOs, and how restrictions can shape popular attitudes and donor funds. Importantly, the contributions in this issue also shed light on how organizations attempt to push back against restrictive states.

Special Issue - Precarity, Mobility and the City This special issue contributes to interdisciplinary literature on mobility and precarity in the context of urban studies. Drawing on empirically rich and theoretically grounded case studies, the articles explore ways in which global governmental processes affect mobility and, similarly, how seemingly local movements impact upon global processes. They also address questions of temporality and rhythms of movement as they occur in precarious spaces where lives are directed, controlled, shifted and governed in both structured and contingent ways. The authors take a particular interest in urban spaces to explore how movement plays out, not only within, but also around, towards and away from cities. Three themes run through the case studies in this issue; the regulation of mobility, the representation of space, and relocations of people.

Special Issue - Governing Climate‐altering Approaches While awareness of the global climate emergency is growing, so too are greenhouse gas emissions and a persistent gap remains between international commitments and the 1.5–2°C goal of the Paris Agreement. Additional climate‐altering approaches are being considered to reduce atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide removal) or the amount of absorbed solar energy in the climate system (solar radiation modification) but they face multiple uncertainties and knowledge gaps relating to their feasibility, acceptability, sustainability and governance. This special issue presents new insights relating to the governance of climate‐altering approaches together with possible ways to address knowledge and governance gaps in future.
