GOVERNANCE
PROJECT SUMMARY



The Global Economic and Financial Governance project seeks to develop
greater expertise in the study of national, regional, and international
institutions, laws, standards and other means to manage the powerful
economic and financial forces that have driven the globalization process.
These issues are increasing in importance in the wake of the 2008-09 global
economic and financial crises, the subsequent debacle in Europe’s periphery,
and the rise of new powers in Asia (China and India) and Latin America (Brazil
and Mexico).
Global governance problems and solutions are at the intersection of
economics, finance, international relations, law, and political science. By
harvesting synergies between our faculty and scholars worldwide, including
practitioners at think tanks and global institutions, SIS can generate
meaningful intellectual and programmatic output, and pioneer a learning
center in economic and financial governance.
