The Global Governance Programme at the EUI Global Governance has become a key concept in many academic and policy debates. There is strong awareness nowadays that many issues have a global dimension, and cannot be effectively dealt with at the level of individual states or regional organizations. The world faces a myriad of increasingly complex issues, such as humanitarian crises and intervention, terrorism, conflict resolution and peace-building, poverty, climate change and instability in the international economic system. Resolving these issues requires the involvement of global players, ranging from private actors to intergovernmental organizations. The role of the Global Governance Programme (GGP) in this scenario is to share knowledge, develop new ideas on these issues, and serve as a bridge between research and policy-making. The GGP is part of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies of the European University Institute, a world-renowned and truly European academic institution uniquely placed to contribute the European perspective to the global governance debate.
