PURPOSE, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
 

Strategic Purpose

The purpose of the Commission on Globalisation is to undertake an inclusive and comprehensive multi-stakeholder inquiry into the nature and character of globalisation; and to develop integrated thought and action leading to specific recommendations for governance and policy-making at a global level that promote greater social equity, environmental stability, enhanced security, and sustainable economic growth.

The Commission serves as an incubator, catalyst and integrator for innovative leaders and institutions working to bring greater equity, democracy and accountability to globalisation and global governance.

Particularly in the aftermath of September 11th, issues related to equity in the globalisation process and effective governance at a global level have taken on renewed urgency. There is a limited window of opportunity for the creation of an international coalition of diverse groups and interests motivated to working together and with governments to implement policies aimed at effective and equitable global governance.


Goals and Objectives

The goal of the Commission is to develop an interconnected web of dynamic partners and projects worldwide, all working in highly diverse ways and in different domains, while united in the common effort to create a more humane future for humanity. The Commission seeks to fulfill its mission through its:

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK: a diverse and committed network of innovative leaders from around the world, serving in their personal capacities, and dedicated to collaborative engagement in the constructive reform of the global system;

POLICY ACTION GROUPS AND SPECIAL INITIATIVES: projects convened under the leadership of one or more of the Co-Chairs and Commissioners, designed through a multi-stakeholder process of deliberation and dedicated to bringing about innovative solutions to global challenges;

CROSS-SECTORAL DELIBERATIONS: the establishment of high-level, multi-stakeholder, consultative mechanisms, in and through which senior decision-makers from civil society, government and the corporate sector can debate, dialogue, and deliberate on the critical challenges and opportunities central to the future of globalisation and its impact on human development; and

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT: the solicitation and inclusion of public input into the deliberations of the Commission and the dissemination of the Commission’s findings and recommendations through its website, publications and regional events, with the intent of promoting public discourse and comment, as well as more democratic decision-making on issues of critical importance.

Accomplishing these goals will enable the Commission to work effectively in implementing reform proposals aimed at a more democratic and accountable management of the global system.
