Governance of Globalization
  Overview  
The Governance of Globalization task force seeks to differentiate topical ideas based on solid theory and evidence from views based on narrow interests and ideology.

Within national economies there is widespread recognition of the need for governments to assume a role in the economy, e.g. in the supervision of financial institutions. At the global level, however, there is no government. Thus, we are engaged in a process of creating a system of global governance -- without a global government. Ironically, just at the time when we need international economic institutions the most, confidence in these institutions has eroded.

The Governance of Globalization task force will analyze the alternatives for the governance of globalization in a non-partisan policy framework.

Globalization Task Force Chairs:
Barry Carin - Assoc. Dir. Centre for Global Studies at Univ. of Victoria Task Force Director Governance of Globalization Program
Gordon Smith - Director Centre for Global Studies at the University of Victoria and a Senior Fellow in the Liu Centre at the University of British Columbia.
