GPPi co-organizes second meeting of Global Governance 2020 program in Shanghai
The Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) and its project partners co-organized the second session of the Global Governance 2020: Designing the Future of International Institutions (GG2020) program in Shanghai from 11-15 July 2010. The program focuses on the future of global governance in three key issue areas: climate change, nuclear non-proliferation & disarmament and global economic governance.
The GG2020 program brings together twenty-four young leaders – eight each from the United States, China and Germany – to jointly develop a vision for the system of global governance in the year 2020 and beyond. These GG2020 fellows assemble three times from January 2010-11. The Shanghai session was the second one. The first was in Berlin in January 2010, and the third will be in Washington, D.C. in January 2011.
The Shanghai session was hosted in cooperation with Fudan University in Shanghai and with the support of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
In China, the GG2020 fellows identified a number of possible future scenarios with respect to global governance, particularly as it relates to climate change, nuclear non-proliferation and global finance. At the session, the fellows also analyzed a comprehensive list of actors who shape global governance and assessed the potential role of these actors in the future.
Lin Shangli of Fudan University and Huang Renwei of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences introduced the Shanghai session. Over the next two days, the fellows discussed climate change, nuclear non-proliferation and the global economy with Chinese experts. Climate experts included Duan Hongxia of Xiamen University and Wang Jiangli of Zhejiang University, while Shen Dingli of Fudan University provided expertise on non-proliferation. Fellows also had a discussion on Chinese perspectives on global governance with Chen Zhimin, Fudan University.
During the next session in Washington, D.C., the fellows will turn the insights from the Berlin and Shanghai sessions into a concrete design for the future in each of the three policy areas.
The GG2020 program is conducted in collaboration with the Hertie School of Governance, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, The Brookings Institution, Fudan University and the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
The program is generously supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Transatlantic Program of the German Government (ERP Grant administered by the German Ministry for Economics and Technology).
