DESCRIPTION:Looking back at the last ten years of the UN Global Compact (2
 000-2010)\, I discuss the achievements\, problems and current challenges o
 f the initiative. Particularly\, I will consider the institutional context
  and constraints of the Global Compact as a UN-backed initiative. The disc
 ussion is structured around three main issue areas: (1) a retrospective as
 sessment of achievements and problems of the Global Compact\, (2) a prospe
 ctive view into the future and discussion of needed institutional reforms\
 , and (3) a reflection of the current context in which the Global Compact 
 operates\, particularly considering the challenges created by the recent e
 conomic downturn. My analysis positions the Global Compact as a network-ba
 sed global governance arrangement reflecting a rapprochement between the U
 N system and the business community.
