Universality and Global Public
Goods• ‘outcomes (or intermediate products) that tend towards
universality in the sense that they benefit all countries,
population groups and generations’ or at a minimum the
‘benefits extend to more than one group of countries and do
not discriminate against any population groups or any set of
generations, present or future’. (16)
• Final global public goods may be tangible (environment) or
intangible (peace); intermediate GPGs include international
regimes that contribute to final GPGs (Kaul et al.:13).
• Kaul et al. (1999)

Today international mechanisms to achieve a global social
balance persistently elude us… The challenge of designing
transnational policies to achieve social balance in different
countries with quite different political and economic
histories… will only bear fruit if democratic nation-states
with a concern for social balance invest in the construction
of international institutions.
(Maureen O’Neil, 2008:viii)
