Description:

It is clear that in order to make the significant strides needed to improve effective decision making for the global agenda, we need new approaches to global governance. In response to this compelling need, in January 2008 the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) and its Centre on Asia and Globalisation (CAG) launched the three-year S.T. Lee Project on Global Governance. The project brings together top thinkers and practitioners from East and West to develop insights and recommendations on how to govern a world that includes a rising Asia.  It is co-chaired by LKYSPP Dean Kishore Mahbubani and CAG Director and Brookings Senior Fellow Ann Florini.

The project addresses two key sets of questions. First, how can states, the private sector and civil society better organise to address the deficiencies in global governance? In a world of emerging multipolarity and deepening globalisation, how can the international community take effective collective action?  Second, what is Asia’s role in dealing with these issues? How can, and should, Asia translate its emerging economic clout into positive political influence that will strengthen global governance?
