Global Governance Institute

The Global Governance Institute (GGI) is an independent, international non-profit think tank based in Brussels. It was founded in 2010 and brings together senior policy-makers, scholars and practitioners in order to devise, strengthen and improve forward-looking approaches to global governance.

GGI's vision is a more equitable, peaceful and sustainable global order based on effective but accountable international organizations, the global rule of law and the empowerment of the individual across borders and cultures. GGI places particular emphasis on the improvement of the United Nations system and its mutual reinforcement with strong regional organizations.

GGI's main office at Cours Saint Michel in Brussels

It currently has about 25 resident and non-resident fellows, working on policy-oriented research, education & training and policy advice in core areas of global governance, such as:

  • Peace & Security
  • Global Justice & Human Rights
  • Global Environmental Governance
  • Global Economy
  • European Centre for Global Education
