Global Public Policy Working Group
Global Public Policy Working Group: Since one of the mandates of the United Nations University is to address pressing global problems, the UNU-ONY launched a Global Public Policy Working Group to discuss how public policy can become more of a reality at the global level. Keeping in mind what has been achieved at the national and regional levels in terms of public policy, this working group will bring together practitioners and theoreticians on a regular basis to map out the challenges of global public policy for think tanks and schools of public policy. The objective of these events is to address the importance of public policy at the global level, including better coordination, stronger institutional mechanism of compliance, and greater allocation of resources, concerning international security, environment, and development issues. As the current financial crisis shows, a global perspective is also badly needed in the field of international economics. These UNU events are an attempt to find answers to such questions.s

The importance of public policy at the global level, including better coordination, stronger institutional mechanism of compliance, and greater allocation of resources is increasingly recognized. This is the case concerning international security, environment, and development issues. As the latest financial crisis shows, this is also badly needed in the field of international economics.
