The Globalization and Human Security workshop is an integral part of the Governing Global Insecurities collaborative, an initiative housed in the Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy (WAGE) and generously supported by the Center for Humanities. Governing Global Insecurities analyzes the sources and implications of the contradiction between the path dependent institutional structures of state authority and the proliferating sources of power that diminish the leverage of the state in an increasingly transnational world. The collaborative examines new human insecurities brought about through the process of globalization, with special emphasis on the globalization of violence and ecological risk. The workshop seeks to offer concrete proposals for institutional and policy reform and lay out an agenda for replacing assumptions about “national security” with a more effective notion of “global governance.”
