Mark Malloch Brown named Fellow at Yale

Mark Malloch Brown, UN Deputy Secretary-General and GPPi Advisory Board member, has been named a visiting fellow at the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization for the upcoming Spring term.

From April 2006, Malloch Brown served as U.N. Deputy Secretary-General to outgoing Secretary-General Kofi Annan. His contract ended on 31 December 2006, the same day Annan stepped down after 10 years. He has also served as Chef de Cabinet to Annan since January 2005 and was previously the Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) from 1999 to 2005, as well as Vice-President for External Affairs and Vice-President for United Nations Affairs at the World Bank from 1996 to 1999.

The Fellowship will provide Malloch Brown with an opportunity to focus on research and writing in addition to interacting with the faculty and students of Yale University. The Yale Center for the Study of Globalization awards fellowships to distinguished individuals who influence policy making and generate ideas for seizing globalization's opportunities and overcoming its challenges. Malloch Brown plans to concentrate on writing a book that will focus on changing leadership in a globalized world where old models of organization no longer prevail.

The Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, launched in 2001, serves as a link between academia and the world of public policy. Its director is Ernesto Zedillo, the former President of Mexico. The Center devotes its work to examining the impact of the increasingly integrated world on individuals, communities and nations, with particular focus on practical policies to enable the world's poorest and weakest citizens to share in the benefits brought by globalization.
