“Global Governance” addressed the past, present, and future of attempts to “govern the world” (Mark Mazower) from a variety of perspectives and at a number of scales. From taking stock of past and present efforts, to examining the assumptions built into the very premise, to speculating on the necessary reconfiguration of academic disciplines, this CGT Think-in aims at a free flowing exchange in which the contours of the problem are sketched and possible models are tested. To facilitate this, the format contains two parts: a small, closed-door brainstorming lunch with invited participants, followed immediately by an open public discussion.
