Source:
state, human, natural, mixed, unknown
Process:
intentionality, targeting, guidance
Pathway:
within the global economic north, within the global
economic South, South to north, north to South

Governance Innovation
actors:
individuals to international institutions
actions:
instruments, institutions, ideas
targets:

System Transformation
neo-vulnerability: relative national capability to equalised global vulnerability
Innovativeness: reflection, learning, institutionalisation, spread, cultural change
new sovereignty: relative national resources, redistribution
rights, global responsibility
Governance:
