"What
made possible this unprecedented international intervention
in East Timor let by Australia, was the power of public opinion,
the power of electronic media of the internet, the power of
citizens of civil society. . . There were millions of people
engaged in different activities of protest, of solidarity,
of mourning, of vigil around the world.”
Jose Ramos-Horta
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (1996),

Conceived of at Forum 2000, the purpose of the Commission
on Globalization is to be an incubator, catalyst and integrator
for innovative leaders and institutions working to bring greater equity,
democracy and accountability to globalization and global governance.
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 on Globalisation seeks to fulfill this 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 concerns;
-
CROSS SECTORAL DELIBERATION: 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;
-
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,
intranet system, 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.
The
strategic intent of these activities is to build a global coalition
of individuals and institutions committed to exercising democracy
at the global level; working collaboratively to take action that
will shape globalisation humanely; and refining the processes related
to multi-stakeholder deliberations.
