The Global Economic Governance Programme was established in 2003 to foster research and debate into how global markets and institutions can better serve the needs of people in developing countries.
The Global Economic Governance Programme (GEG) fosters research and debate on how to make the global economy inclusive and sustainable. Through rigorous research attentive to policy realities, our work aims to:
- understand how international rules, institutions and practices governing the global economy are forged and impact citizens and the environment;
- incubate new ideas and policy proposals aimed at reshaping the global economy to address the most pressing needs of citizens and environment; and
- foster dialogue between academic, government and stakeholder groups, including under-represented voices, to improve the quality of policy analysis and decision-making.
Our work draws together a core group of scholars based in Oxford and a network of academics and practitioners from around the world hosted by the Blavatnik School of Government and University College at the University of Oxford.
