Global Governance for Sustainable Development in the Post-2015 Era Panel with GPIA Prof. Sakiko Fukuda-Parr

ISakiko2nternational Affairs Professor Sakiko Fukuda-Parr is scheduled to be part of a panel discussion organized by the Committee for Development Policy (CDP). The panel, scheduled for this Wednesday, March 26th,  will be held at the UN National Headquarters. The main focus of this panel discussion will address how the post-2015 development agenda needs to address inequality between, not just within, countries.

About the panel:

Development cooperation has a central role to play in the achievement of global development goals, and not only in terms of the resources and technical assistance it can provide, but also in policy decision-making and norm-setting. A key question is how to reform the institutions responsible for global governance so that they can efficiently address current and emerging challenges while, at the same time, respecting countries and peoples’ rights to define their own paths towards the realization of internationally agreed goals. Three main issues come to fore: (i) the current global governance system is not properly equipped to manage the growing integration and interdependence across countries; (ii) the current system is characterized by marked asymmetries in terms of access, processes and outcomes; and, (iii) global rules have led to a shrinking of the policy space of national governments, particularly of the developing countries, in ways that impede the reduction of inequalities within countries.

Panelists include: Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, GPIA professor, member of CDP since 2010, and Vice Chair of CDP since 2013; Diane Elson, member of CDP since 2013 and Professor Emeritus, University of Essex, and research affiliate at Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers University; and, José Antonio Ocampo Gaviria, Chair of CDP since 2013, and Professor of Professional Practice in International and Public Affairs, and Director, Economic and Political Development Concentration, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University.
