New GGI Publication: Europe in the World
GGI is pleased to publish its new 'View from Practice' Paper by Belgian's Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Steven Vanackere. The paper analyzes the main challenges faced by the European Union in a changing global landscape. Vanackere calls for major improvements, such as an EU Military Headquarters and an improved European External Action Service.
Environment and Sustainable Development
GGI's Environment and Sustainable Development Section recognizes the diffuse and multilayered processes and actors involved in these transitions as both opportunities and burdens for environmental governance institutions to realize the new levels of effectiveness required to avoid the worst of climate change and other environmental problems, and the new levels of transparency and accountability needed to legitimize the enormous new investments of public funding required to address the problems adequately.
Peace and Security
The GGI Peace and Security section focuses on strengthening United Nations peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts and on enhancing the effectiveness of military and civilian crisis management operations by regional organizations, such as the European Union, NATO and the African Union.
Forward Studies and Innovation
In a rapidly changing world we believe the most valuable gift we can leave future generations is the ability to deal confidently with unexpected situations. This means that from a young age we need to nurture each individual’s capacity to inquire, evaluate and solve emerging problems. We believe that strengthening these core processes is fundamental for a democratic, equal and sustainable world. Our primary focus is therefore to pioneer shifts in education policy that enable future generations to be more prepared for the issues of tomorrow in a world of global governance.
Global Justice
The development of international law and the promotion of a universal, but cultural-sensitive human rights regime lies at the heart of effective and sustainable global governance. GGI's International Law and Human Rights experts focus on promoting new frame-works and tools for strengthening Global Justice and the rights of vulnerable groups and the individual. Our work focuses on the work and impact of international institutions, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Ad Hoc Tribunals and the Human Rights Council as well as on regional legal courts and human rights regimes.
Economic Policy
The Economic Policy Section provides research and consulting in today's most pressing areas: Financial and housing markets, competition policy, labor markets and social security systems, and political economy of reforms. In these areas, our analysts can draw on extensive experience from the world's top universities, public and private sector organizations. What we all share is the conviction that in order to be useful policy analysis should be data-based, and should look outside the box of individual academic disciplines, complementing our core expertise in economics with solid knowledge of the legal and political aspects of economic policy.

Operationalising the Responsibility to Protect: Towards a Truly Global Approach
OPERATIONALISING THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT
Together with the Madariaga-College of Europe Foundation, the Global Action to Prevent War and the International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect, the Global Governance Institute is campaigning for a global debate and approach to moving the Responsibility to Protect from norm to actual operationalisation.
In this context, the four partners have published a free e-book on 'Operationalising the Responsibility to Protect: A Contribution to the Third Pillar Approach'. The book is based on a joint workshop organized in April that brought together policy-makers from the EU, UN and regional organisations and scholars to debate the civilian and military challenges posed by “pillar three” of the RtoP principle.
