The International Institutions and Global Governance program focuses on projects and initiatives that aim to better understand and strengthen current multilateral arrangements governing state conduct and international cooperation in meeting four broad sets of challenges:
1. Countering Transnational Threats (including terrorism, proliferation of WMD, and infectious disease)
2. Protecting the Environment and Promoting Energy Security
3. Managing the Global Economy
4. Preventing and Responding to Violent Conflict.
The program also examines the potential to adapt major bedrock institutions as well as the feasibility of creating new frameworks and initiatives to meet today's challenges.
Director's Welcome
Welcome to the home of the International Institutions and Global Governance Program at the Council on Foreign Relations. Supported by the Robina Foundation, the IIGG Program seeks to identify critical weaknesses in current frameworks for multilateral cooperation; propose specific reforms reflective of new global circumstances; and promote constructive U.S. leadership in building the capacities of existing organizations and in sponsoring new, more effective regional and global institutions and partnerships. On this site you'll find information on our activities and publications. You will also find a list of CFR contributors.
