Program focus
This program examines how governance systems operate across local, national, regional, and global levels to address challenges such as climate change, migration, and digital sovereignty. Participants analyse the complexity of the regime, the distribution of power and authority, and the roles of regional organisations and multistakeholder arrangements in problem-solving.
