The Project
‘A house in order is not a city in order‘, wrote Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa. ‘There are commons that bear no relation with what goes on within houses, but between houses […] The commons can only be managed in common.‘ Growing concerns about global commons are indeed a distinctive feature of present times, as deepening interdependence increasingly confronts the global community with heightened challenges. The institutional architecture of globalisation remains seriously incomplete, and existing institutions that constituted the pillars of global governance have been weakened. The TGG project endeavours to discern what are the most promising templates for international collective action by analysing and comparing nine issue areas for global governance: trade, capital flows and safety nets, cross-border migrations, competition policy, taxation coordination, banking regulation, climate change adaptation and mitigation, digital technologies and their effects, and global health. It is conducted through the organisation of sector- and topic-specific seminars and the publication of papers resulting from the associated research.
