Policy flexians in the global order

This chapter addresses flexians, new players in the global governance arena, united in their transcendence of traditional roles and responsibilities, institutional constraints, and traditional standards of accountability and means of enforcement. We trace these developments into the world of global social governance and explore how flexians can exploit the spaces created to craft, co-opt, advise, implement, and evaluate emerging global social policies. We discuss the roles of two important figures, Jeffrey Sachs and George Soros. Sachs is in many ways an archetypal flexian whereas Soros is not. More germane to our argument is that their influence touches on a number of key aspects of the new global social governance. A concluding section addresses the problems and possibilities of crafting a new, smarter, ethics and accountability in global social governance, revisiting the idea of checks and balances to try to at least level the playing field between flexians, traditional institutional orders, and the global public.
