stakeholder dialogues
How we work
Proposal
– Topic. GLA members propose topics to the theme’s commission.
– Choice. Relevant topics that fit within our main global themes are accepted if there are sufficient members willing and able to participate in Phase II (its scoping and preparation).
Preparation
– Scoping. Members convene to discuss the objectives, the scope and the format/agenda.
– Preparation. Research support is secured, good framing of the issue is ensured, content is developed and stakeholders are mapped. Leaders of key stakeholders are identified and invited.
Assembly
– Dialogue. A carefully crafted stakeholder dialogue process leads to an outcome that meets the expectations of the participating stakeholders. The dialogue combines individual work with group work.
– Outcome. The team synthesizes the results in a report. The participants decide what to do with the results.
Our Assemblies
An Assembly deals with a specific issue. These are the Assemblies that are currently active. More will follow.
Sustainability and Prosperity
Politicians are on a short term leash. They face the next election. Yet inverting climate change for example is a long term gain with short term pains. Leaders risk being thrown out if they choose the long term. Is sustainability compatible with prosperity and democracy?
December 2nd, during the Centennial Celebrations of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, this dialogue will be presented.
Tanja Kleinsorge leads the Sustainability and Prosperity dialogue.
Economic Sanctions
While sanctions can be an effective tool, their overuse and the lack of multilateral support often undermine their objectives. More than ever sanctions are being used as a tool to deter or punish. How can sanctions work while limiting collatoral damage?
On March 22nd, 2022, the Global Leaders Assembly organized an event at the Georgetown University Graduate School of Foreign Service:
“Sanctioning Russia: a roundtable discussion on economic sanctions, their effectiveness and the potential long-term implications and consequences”. Download the free Report here.
