The following joint statement of the Commission on Globalisation was published in the global edition of the Financial Times on December 13, 2001: We the undersigned have come together to issue the following joint statement: Moral, economic and political imperatives mandate that the world community take action to reconcile the contradictory tendencies inherent in globalisation. The global challenges before us must be understood and solved in a more comprehensive manner. In the aftermath of September 11, it is clearly the responsibility of the world community to build a sustained coalition against terrorism. It is also our responsibility to build an equally enduring coalition dedicated to building a more peaceful and just world order. In this spirit, we have come together from around the world and across a spectrum of disciplines to establish a COMMISSION ON GLOBALISATION, which will convene at the London Business School December 13-15. The Commission is an international non-governmental network comprised of leaders from civil society, business, and government who believe that human security, economic prosperity and environmental stability must be developed in an integrated manner to ensure long term sustainability and for the benefits of globalisation to be enjoyed equitably throughout the world. Our goal is to convene leaders from all sectors to deliberate and take collaborative actions focused on the constructive reform of specific aspects of the globalisation process. Our recommendations will be presented to the member states of the United Nations. Under current
conditions, it is essential that those who might not normally consult with
one another, or even sit at the same table, come together and share
innovative thinking and best practices concerning the equitable and
democratic governance of the global system. Nothing less will suffice to
create the future to which we all aspire. CO-CHAIRS
