The three core objectives of the Global Economic Governance Programme (GEG) are:

• to conduct and foster research into international organisations and markets as well as new public-private governance regimes;
• to create and develop a network of scholars and policy-makers working on these issues; and
• to influence debate and policy in both the public and the private sector in developed and developing countries.

Researchers primarily focus on finance, trade, intellectual property, aid, investment, and institutions. GEG produces working papers and policy briefs, and holds regular seminars open to the public.
