Barcelona Workshop on Global Governance
January 15-16
2015
The aim of the Barcelona Workshop
on Global Governance is to provide
a venue for the study of global
institutions from an institutional and
organization design perspective.
While most research on international
organizations has viewed these
entities as the platforms where states
- the fundamental units - interact,
this forum will focus on international
governmental organizations (IGOs)
themselves as the building blocks of
global governance.
With the support of:
Fundación Ramón Areces,
Repsol, La Caixa, Ajuntament de
Barcelona, Diputació de Barcelona,
Generalitat de Catalunya
