Global Governance Innovation Network

Bringing together world class scholarship with international policymaking to address fundamental global governance challenges, threats, and opportunities.

The Global Governance Innovation Network (GGIN) will bring together world class scholarship with international policymaking to address fundamental global governance challenges, threats, and opportunities. Through policy research on the underlying causes and dynamics of the “anti-multilateralist” turn in many countries and development of institutional, legal, policy, operational, and normative improvements in the global governance architecture, GGIN will convene and amplify the voices of a new generation of scholars, policy researchers, and practitioners from the Global South and North, alongside established experts and UN Mission Representatives. The Global Governance Innovation Network is a partnership of the Stimson Center, the Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS), Plataforma CIPÓ, and Leiden University.
