Global Governance Issues — Mains Strategy

Mains Strategy

Structure answers using clear ethical frameworks - begin with utilitarian analysis (greatest good), then deontological evaluation (duty-based obligations), and conclude with virtue ethics (institutional character).

Use the IDEA framework: Identify the governance challenge, Diagnose ethical failures using specific examples, Evaluate using multiple ethical lenses, and Argue for solutions with implementation considerations.

Include specific examples: WHO's COVID-19 response timeline, UNSC veto statistics, climate finance gap data, and India's reform positions. Draw simple diagrams showing institutional structures, governance gaps, or reform proposals.

Demonstrate multidimensional understanding by connecting global governance to domestic governance principles , international relations theory , and environmental ethics . Use keywords like 'legitimacy deficit,' 'accountability gap,' 'subsidiarity principle,' and 'reformed multilateralism.

' Balance criticism with constructive solutions, showing understanding of both idealistic goals and realistic constraints.
