Bridging Silos, Breaking Silences Conference In November 2011, CIGI co-sponsored INET’s Bridging Silos, Breaking Silences: New Responses to Instability and Inequality conference, at New York’s Desmond Tutu Center. The event was the inaugural conference of INET’s Young Scholars Ini- tiative (YSI), which seeks to foster new economic thinking in the next generation of researchers, to address the greatest challenges to the global economy since the Great Depression. The YSI model allows top emerging researchers in economics to interact with and learn from experienced policy practitioners and scholars, through traditional conference panels and smaller breakout sessions. At the conference, CIGI Distinguished Fellow Paul Jenkins was a respondent for a session titled Collective Action and Trust. Members of CIGI’s G20 Working Group, from left, James A.

Paradigm Lost Conference

In April 2012, CIGI, INET and the Merca- tor Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change co-hosted INET’s third annual plenary conference, Paradigm Lost: Rethinking Economics and Politics, at Berlin’s Axica Confer- ence Center adjacent to the famous Brandenburg Gate. About 300 scholars, students, journalists and policy makers convened in the eye of the European economic hurricane to reconsider conventional economic thinking. CIGI Chair of Global Systems Thomas Homer- Dixon moderated a panel titled Taking Stock of Complexity Economics: Which Problems Does It Illuminate? Many of the CIGI-INET grantees attended Paradigm Lost, including CIGI Senior Fellow Pierre Siklos. The conference also featured a YSI Commons program that allowed hundreds of economics students from across the globe to participate in a vibrant parallel event to the main Berlin conference. The young scholars in the Commons were able to view the conference live through a private connection and meet and talk to the more than 90 conference participants, all of whom visited the Commons and engaged in challenging roundtable In early 2012, Senior Fellow and China Research Chair Gregory Chin began the BRICS, Asia and International Monetary Reform project, focusing discussions.

Security Sector Reform

In 2011-12, CIGI researchers continued their work in security sector reform (SSR), attempting to further deconstruct the SSR model, analyze its practical application in different contexts and of- fer advice on how to increase its effectiveness. Led by Senior Fellow Mark Sedra, CIGI researchers completed their Security Sector Governance project with the publication of the final seven installments of the SSR Issue Paper series. Authored by prominent practitioners in the field, policy makers, academics and informed observers, the SSR Issue Papers series combines analysis of current problems and challenges, and examines thematic and geographic topics relating to the most pressing SSR issues. Topics covered throughout the year’s SSR Is- sue Papers included: regulating the private security industry in Haiti; engaging non-state actors in SSR; The CIGI Paper UN Peacekeeping: 20 Years of Reform featured the findings of CIGI’s two-year analyzing the European Union’s police reform mis- review of UN peacekeeping operations, such as the MINUSTAH mission, above, in Haiti. sion in the West Bank; security sector governance in Pakistan; and military justice and impunity in tary, police and civilian personnel; improvements in triumvirate, involving the international community, Mexico’s drug war.

Global Development

N 2011-12, CIGI’s Global Development Pro- Igram focused on the importance of systemic coherence and shared responsibility for overcoming global and international challenges to equitable growth and sustainable development. The overall goal of the program is to identify international governance innovations and adjustments that support sustainable development and poverty reduction, and facilitate the shift to more effective, efficient and equitable delivery of global public goods. CIGI’s research develops options for supporting the reorganization of the global development system, to respond to significant changes in the global context. The research aims to build a new multilateral consensus between the emerging donors (state and non-state) and traditional donors on concrete benefit-sharing arrangements and innovative financing of infrastructure development and connectivity, technology sharing and food security. CIGI’s three major activities in this research stream for the year were: the Toward a Post-2015 Develop- ment Paradigm project, the Africa Initiative and the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon speaks at the UN Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012. He was promoting the UN Emerging Donors project. A labourer in Haiti works on a UN sponsored development project.
