Abstract: There are different forms of global governance; in addition to the rulebased model of governance, there is also a principlebased model of governance. This paper proposes a research agenda for “principled governance” focusing on the oftenoverlooked dimension of principlebased governance in global governance. Principles are defined as a series of consensuses formed by actors regarding appropriate conduct and developed through the exploration of established practices or patterns. These consensuses, grounded in considerations of common interests and the pursuit of normative values, encompass elements such as customs, conventions, knowledge, values, and interests. In contrast, principled governance primarily adheres to the logic of appropriateness, integrating three theoretical perspectives: international practices, knowledge creation, and power dynamics. This approach facilitates the connection between major social science paradigms like rationalism and constructivism. As an emerging theoretical issue in global governance research, studies of principled governance still require substantial development, particularly in the following areas: establishing a framework of global governance principles, investigating the mechanisms behind principle formation and evolution, advancing theories of changes in global governance mechanisms, and exploring the development of principles and global governance.
