In Soundings, commentators from G20 countries assess public perceptions of national leaders at global summits and how they perceive summits as exercising global leadership. Reflecting on the Huntsville G8 and Toronto G20 Summits in June 2010, this installation analyses the role of the G8 in the G20 era and the portrayals and public perceptions of G20 initiatives and achievements. The fourth series of Soundings follows earlier assessments of the Pittsburgh G20 Summit in September 2009, the London G20 in July 2009, and the G8 Summit in L’Aquila, April 2009. Soundings is an output of the National Perspectives on Global Leadership (NPGL) project, a joint initiative of CIGI and the Brookings Institution, with contributions by partner institutions in G20 countries.
Emanating from CIGI’s G20 work program, the “CIGI G20 Papers” seek to examine and understand options for the G20 on major transnational and institutional issues, such as the response to the economic crisis, financial regulation, and the G20’s place in the processes and “architecture” of international economic governance. The first four papers to be published were originally presented at CIGI’s conference on International Governance Innovation: Issues for the 2010 Summits (May 3-5, 2010). They address questions relating to the new Financial Stability Board; the process of summitry and the G20’s effectiveness and legitimacy; the G20 and the post-crisis economic order (and by extension, the G8); and the macroeconomic stabilization framework for sustained global growth and prosperity.
CIGI's Nuclear Energy Futures Papers present research commissioned by the Nuclear Energy Futures Project, which is examining the scope of the purported nuclear energy revival over the coming two decades and its implications for global governance. The papers are written by experts in nuclear energy or nuclear global governance.
CIGI's Caribbean Papers present and discuss policy issues pertaining to trade, investment, human capital, the fiscal outlook and public sector management practices, among other issues, relevant to the Caribbean region's economic future.
The Afghanistan Papers are essays authored by prominent academics, policy makers, practitioners and informed observers that seek to challenge existing ideas, contribute to ongoing debates and influence international policy on issues related to Afghanistan’s transition. A forward-looking series, the papers combine analysis of current problems and challenges with explorations of future issues and threats.
The Security Sector Reform Monitor is a quarterly publication that tracks developments and trends in the ongoing security sector reform (SSR) processes of five countries: Afghanistan, Burundi, East Timor, Haiti and South Sudan. Every quarter, there will be separate editions for each case study country. Adopting a holistic definition of the security sector, the Monitor will cover a wide range of actors, topics and themes, from reforms in the rule of law institutions and armed forces to demilitarization activities and the role of non-statutory security and justice actors.
In Soundings, commentators from more than dozen G20 countries reflect on the public perceptions of national leaders at global summits. The third installation of Soundings follows earlier assessments of the London G20 in April and the G8 Summit in July. Reflecting on the Pittsburgh G20 Summit in September 2009, this series assesses the degree to which national leaders of G20 countries are rising to meet the international challenges presented by economic and related crises. Soundings is an output of the National Perspectives in Global Leadership (NPGL) project, a joint initiative of CIGI and the Brookings Institution, with contributions by partner institutions in G20 countries.
Soundings is a collection of commentaries assessing how global leaders are evaluated by the public in their own countries. The first series explored the performance of national leaders at the G20 Summit in London in April 2009. The second series examines similar issues in the G8 Summit in Italy in July 2009. Soundings is an output of the National Perspectives in Global Leadership (NPGL) project, a joint initiative of CIGI and the Brookings Institution, with contributions by partner institutions in G20 countries.
