Strengthening Global Governance

Addressing global governance deficits with innovative solutions

In the face of growing mass violence in fragile states, the threat of runway climate change, and fears of devastating cross-border economic shocks and cyber-attacks, the world needs a new kind of leadership, combined with new tools, networks, and institutions. Beginning with Albright-Gambari Commission on Global Security, Justice & Governance (2014-2015) and follow-on Just Security 2020 Program (2016-2020), the Stimson Center has worked to strengthen and innovate global governance, to ensure that neither justice nor security imperatives are neglected by critical international policy debates. Building on this foundation and as a contribution to the new Global Governance Innovation Network, the Stimson Center will continue to conduct pioneering research and present practical proposals for strengthening global governance to better respond to 21st century threats, challenges and opportunities.
