To involve civil society and practitioners, we invited to contribute people interested in four main issues, perfect as case studies on global governance: international migration policy and refugee protection; consequences and effects of climate change; fair-trade and sustainable development; impact of innovation and disruptive technologies.
It came as a surprise to receive many abstracts about cross-cutting theoretical topics (identity, democracy, multilateralism and so on), so, the final program was somehow re-imagined to match the great suggestions received.
So, these are the titles of the five sessions:
- I. EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVES ON DEMOCRACY
- –I.1 – Evolving consciousness: from the Local to the Global Dimension;
- –I.2 – New Paths for Global Interaction
- II. GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS: WHERE ARE WE? WHICH WAY FORWARD?
- –II.1 – Session Co-hosted by UNHRD and UNGSC
- –II.2 – Suggestions for a Reform (and the Climate Imperative)
- III. MIGRATIONS AND FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS: NATIONAL, EUROPEAN AND GLOBAL APPROACHEs
- IV. ADDRESSING INEQUALITIES IN A CHANGING WORLD: NEW MODELS, NEW TOOLS.
- V. EUROPE AS A LAB FOR SUPRANATIONAL DEMOCRATIC SOLUTIONS?
Panelists will come from different countries and continents, as well as attendees.
