Summary
− ESG-Agency scholars are at the forefront of exploring novel forms of agency within changing global governance architectures, such as the emergence of transnational and private governance, over the last decade. − Agency and architecture influence each other in a range of ways, underpinning processes of change in institutions, governance, and politics.− Greater focus is required concerning causal mechanisms of agency-architecture interplay, and their role in producing reflexivity and transformations in governance systems under pressure.
