[Workshop Harvard]

.Workshop at Harvard, Cambridge Massachusetts

The developments since the CPOGG Conference in Berlin have shown that critical perspectives on global governance are more necessary than ever. Only by reflecting the usage and the practice of global governance can the politics of global governance be demarcated and alternative world orders be imagined.

We organize this workshop in cooperation with the European Law Research Center (ELRC) of the Harvard Law School, October 3-4 2003. The program of our workshop can be downloaded here.

During the Panel Discussions, we will ask the Inquisitors and the Authors to sit together. For the first 15 to 20 minutes the Inquisitors will summarize the main themes of the papers and offer some helpful critique, then the Authors have five minutes each to respond before we convene a discussion of the group about the work.

We have asked one participant to convene each of three two-hour Roundtable Discussions, and we have asked a few workshop participants to get the discussion going for each theme. No papers will be presented at the roundtables – we are hoping for a more free-flowing discussion in which we can deepen our understanding of the broad themes sketched out here. Of course, participants should feel free to speak to the theme from the perspective of their own work if they would like. For the first hour or so of each roundtable, we expect the convenor to lead a discussion among the named participants – thereafter, all workshop participants are invited to join in.
