Globalization and Governance

From 1994 to 2002 the theme of Globalization and Governance was addressed by the MOST Programme through building up networks and carrying out policy-relevant research. The aim was to improve understanding of the globalization process and its impact on newly created governance mechanisms and structures. Projects in this field analysed and supported local development policies and regional coping strategies, particularly in marginalized regions and least developed countries.

In light of a rapidly changing world the MOST programme’s work on this theme evolved over this ten-year period to adapt to the global context. In the first four years links were forged between knowledge producers and research users as networks were built up and programmes established. From 1998 to 1999 activities emphasized the production of new scientific knowledge, presenting it in a form that could be used by public decision-makers and media professionals. The three main areas of action were “national coping strategies to fight against drug-trafficking”, “sustainability” and “social governance within the globalization and integration processes”. From 2000 to 2003 the strategy was two fold: first, work continued on understanding globalization and governance and second, there was a focus on local development strategies and governance mechanisms. The reports, studies and publications resulting from the work of MOST on Globalization and Governance during this period are available in MOST’s Digital Library. The theme of ‘Governance and Democracy’ under the Social and Human Sciences Sector has now been transferred to the International Centre for Human Sciences at Byblos, Lebanon. The International Centre for Human Sciences at Byblos officially launched its programme in September 2002. The new mission of the Centre is to promote comparative research on the nature of democracy and its development, with particular emphasis on the relationship between cultural perceptions and democracy. The Centre will foster interregional and international exchanges and cooperation. It will also serve as a forum to disseminate the results of research conducted on the theme of democracy. More ...
