About CIGI

World-leading Think Tank on inTernaTional governanceFounded in 2001, The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is an independent, non-partisan think tank on international governance challenges. Led by experienced practitioners and distinguished academics, CIGI aims to anticipate emerging trends in international governance and to strengthen multilateral responses to the world’s most pressing problems. CIGI advances policy ideas and debate by conducting studies, forming networks and convening scholars, practitioners and policy makers.

By operating an active program of publications, events, conferences and workshops, CIGI builds capacity to effect change in international public policy. CIGI is advised by an International Board of Governors. The organization is housed in the historic former Seagram Museum building in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It was founded by philanthropist Jim Balsillie, then co-CEO of Research In Motion, who serves as CIGI’s chair. CIGI is funded by private and public donations. It gratefully acknowledges the support of the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.

ProGrAms

cigi’s Policy research occurs in four areas

gloBal econoMy

Addressing the need for sustainable and balanced economic growth, the Global Economy program is a central area of CIGI expertise. Its importance was heightened by the global financial crisis of 2009, which gave impetus to formation of the G20 leaders’ summits — a development for which CIGI experts had advocated.

environMenT and energy

Planet Earth faces severe and growing stresses as a result of human development and consumption. The Environment and Energy program at CIGI focuses on governance issues related to climate change, geo-engineering and alternative energy. Ideas arising from CIGI’s fall 2010 conference, Climate of Action, are helping to define the program.

gloBal develoPMenT

The overall goal of CIGI’s Global Development program is to identify international governance innovations and adjustments that support sustainable development and poverty reduction, and facilitate the transition to more effective, efficient and equitable delivery of global public goods.

gloBal securiTy

Since humans first began to deploy weaponry in inter-tribal warfare, our greatest danger has been, collectively, from ourselves — and at no time has the risk been greater than in the modern age, with its weapons of mass destruction. CIGI’s Global Security program focuses on a range of issues in peace, conflict, security and building states.


PublICAtIons

advancing Policy ideas and deBaTeCIGI produces policy-oriented publications — commentaries, CIGI papers, special reports, conference reports, policy briefs and books — written by CIGI’s experts, experienced practitioners and researchers.

Through its publications program, CIGI informs decision makers, fosters dialogue and debate on policy-relevant ideas and strengthens multilateral responses to the most pressing international governance issues.

cigi PaPersCIGI Papers present well-considered policy positions and/or research findings, insights or data relevant to policy debates and decision making. This category includes papers in series linked to particular projects or topic areas.

International approaches to the Afghan security sector have exhibited elements of security sector reform, counterinsurgency

CIGI CAmPus

shaPing ideas for gloBal governance

The CIGI Campus, located in Waterloo, Ontario, is a hub of Canadian-based study and research in international affairs. First classes were held in October 2011. Public lectures are held in the 250-seat CIGI Auditorium.

The campus is home to academic and research programs that are partnerships between The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and other institutions. It includes the Balsillie School of International Affairs, established in 2007 and offering a Ph.D. and two master’s programs. The school is a partnership among the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and CIGI. In time, the campus may also be home to a proposed master’s program in international law. An incubator of ideas results from the physical proximity of a global think tank and related schools.

This $69-million facility, designed by KPMB Architects in the classic “Oxbridge” style, received federal and provincial funding totalling $50 million through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program and Ontario’s 2009 budget. The land for the CIGI Campus was donated by the City of Waterloo.


The Balsillie School of International Affairs is a collaborative partnership among CIGI, Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo, and represents the largest initiative in the social sciences in Canadian history. With over 30 affiliated faculty, including the CIGI Chairs, the Balsillie School has assembled several experts in a variety

of disciplines that contribute to the analysis of the challenges of governance in an increasingly complex global environment. Emphasizing small class size and individual contact with faculty, the programs admit eight doctoral students and 30 master’s-level students each year.

Ph.d. in gloBal governanceThe Ph.D. in Global Governance (offered jointly by Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo) is a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary examination of power and authority in the global arena. Graduate students in the program examine the variety of actors, institutions, ideas, rules and processes that contribute to the management of global society. In addition to international organizations and inter-state relations, the study of global governance examines the various non-state actors as well as the realities of contemporary life that contribute to the establishment and functioning of global rules, norms and institutions. The Global Governance Ph.D. program interrogates the concepts, tools, and assumptions that have served scholars in the past, and assesses new approaches for addressing contemporary and future challenges.

M.a. in gloBal governanceThe M.A. in Global Governance (offered by the University of Waterloo) goes beyond the rigidities and formalities of established academic boundaries by drawing on a variety of disciplines, including economics, politics, history and environmental studies. Designed to be completed in 16 months, the program typically consists of two terms of course work; a third term as an intern working on global governance issues in the public or private sector, at a research institute or non-governmental organizations; followed by a fourth term in which students complete a major research paper on a specific research topic of their choosing relating to global governance.

MasTer’s in inTernaTional PuBlic PolicyAn intensive, one-year, interdisciplinary master’s program, the Master’s in International Public Policy (MIPP, offered by Wilfrid Laurier University) provides graduate training for individuals looking to pursue or enhance careers in international or global policy development, implementation and evaluation. MIPP students complete three terms of course work, each of which builds a specific skill set; skills in public sector economics, policy analysis and research tools.
