The financial crisis revealed limitations and deficiencies in the corporate governance of financial institutions on both sides of the Atlantic. Policy responses have introduced a variety of regulations aimed at reducing risk, whilst many banks have taken greater interest in promoting good practices. This special issue of Global Policy contributes to ongoing debates by analysing these movements within the global banking industry.

The February 2019 issue of Global Policy has two special sections: The first contains responses to Helmut K. Anheier’s essay ‘On the Future of the Public Policy School’. The second entitled ‘Theorizing Democracy between National and International Politics: A Snapshot from East Asia' is introduced by Chia‐Ming Chen and Jean‐Marc Coicaud. The issue also includes research articles on American power, CERN, rising powers in global economic governance and terrorism’s influence on voting patterns. There is a policy insight examining sustainable investing and two new response articles.

The May 2019 issue of Global Policy has, amongst others, research articles on global health governance, tax spillover, global financial regulation, China's Belt Road Initiative and solar geoengineering. There are survey articles on grants based multi-lateral funding and the US-China policy debate. It also includes policy insights on informality and the G7, inequality agendas in the G7 and G20, and why the petrostate won't end as the global energy transition continues. There is a keynote on altruism, global extinction and animal welfare.

This special issue addresses the the changing nature of contemporary conflicts and the challenges they pose to conventional diplomacy. The topic was explored at the “New Diplomacy for New Types of Conflict” conference at the German Institute of Global and Areas Studies on 2–3 July 2018. The findings provided the foundations for many of the issue's articles. They cover contemporary approaches to understanding and resolving conflicts, often through the lens of regional and country case studies.
