GOVERNANCE FOR A PLANET UNDER PRESSURE

The primary objective of this review is to introduce Young’s last book. A book in which he made use of all his experience to discuss and present insights on the effectiveness of governance systems and the emerging challenges of the Anthropocene². Although it is not my intent to describe Young’s academic success, trajectory, and achievements-since this noble task resided with well-known researcher, Ronald Mitchell (2013)-I could not fail to mention that, for more than 40 years, Oran Young, currently Professor Emeritus at the University of California, has promoted and stimulated knowledge about international institutions in various approaches (^{YOUNG, 2016}).
