Dr. Zachara is the author of a book titled "Global governance: ład międzynarodowy po zakończeniu stulecia Ameryki" [Global Governance. The World's Order after the End of American Century].

Revolution in communication and information has intensified processes of internationalization. People travel, communicate with each other without actually noticing geographical barriers of time and distance. Due to an increased access to cyberspace, the new forms of culture, business and interactions have emerged, which occur in virtual world, but are at the same time closely related to quite real social relationships, emotions, and money. Except for or even beyond the traditional geopolitical structures of states and international organizations, there is a wholly new sphere related to realization of human needs and aspirations, which has significantly transformed the rules of traditional politics. There is also a huge demand for norms shaping the complex architecture of the transnational reality. This raises a number of questions: who has the power, the mandate, and the real technical ability to develop mechanisms of coexistence in the global sphere?  How to create acceptable laws? How to negotiate issues of common concern? On what basis to resist the global governance architecture?
