This unprecedented survey examines attitudes to global governance across twelve of the world’s major countries, the developed Group of seven (US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan) and the emerging BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Together they account for the majority of the world’s population and economic output.
This discussion will also detail public attitudes on a variety of themes critical for global governance rarely touched upon in survey research. These include the global mood, assessments of global progress on major issues, and views on policy proposals on UN reform, international conflict, pandemic prevention, climate change, and other important domains.
Among topics to be covered:
- Which issues the public thinks the world is succeeding and failing on
- Responses to proposals to reform the Security Council, strengthen the UN, and expand the role of international courts
- Views on war crimes and cooperation with the International Criminal Court
- Perceptions of Covid recovery and reactions to ideas to prevent future pandemics
- Awareness of key climate agreements and willingness to support additional ones
- Where people consider themselves to be global citizens
- Which countries would help their rivals battle an attack by space aliens – and which would not
