Global Policy and Political Thinking: The Challenges of a Multi Polar World Order
Globalism Research Centre is hosting a public seminar with Dr Eva-Maria Nag
This talk will discuss the often understated but important link between global policy and political thinking. Clearly, territorially-bound national and regional policy making has hitherto drawn from distinct, even if plural, value systems and traditions of political thinking. The connection between global policy and political thinking is not so clear however. It is contended that cosmopolitans efforts notwithstanding, there is much more work to be done for both policy experts and political thinkers. The latter have to engage more with the field of global policy that is fast becoming a space for thought and action in itself, with unsettling consequences for nation-state based policy making and for nationstate based political thinking. The talk will set out six key elements of global policy and discuss the kind of conceptual mapping that will be needed to consciously rather than accidentally understand and shape the complex processes of global policy making.
