University of Leuven Spring 2017 Lecture Series on Global Commons and Global Public Goods

The Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies organises a 2017 High-Level Lecture Series on Global Commons and Global Public Goods.

It draws together leading academic voices from the fields of history, political theory, international law and political science under the same thematic questions: What difference does it make to express and frame policy challenges in the light of one concept or the other? What kind of cooperation and governance schemes do these concepts imply? Is it possible to extrapolate such schemes to the global level? At play in these discussions is the role of both (global) commons and (global) public goods as new models of governance.
