Global governance is a term related to the rules in state governance, introduced and popularized by international institutions. By participating in such institutions, countries must abide by their commitments to the implementation of standards related to global governance. The process of internalization occurs through the process of transplanting legislation so that the national law is compatible with international legal norms. However, this process may be smooth in one country, but may be problematic in another, depending on institutional characteristics and barriers to political and sovereign interests of nation.
