Supranational governance refers to a form of political authority that transcends national boundaries, allowing multiple countries to cooperate on shared issues. This system often involves international organizations, such as the European Union or the United Nations, which create laws and policies that member states must follow, even if they conflict with national laws. The primary goal of supranational governance is to address global challenges, such as climate change, trade, and security, that require collective action. By pooling resources and decision-making power, countries can work together more effectively to achieve common objectives and promote stability and prosperity across regions.
