CIGI at ten beginnings
S IT marks its tenth anniversary, The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is really just setting out on its journey. Given CIGIs
stated vision to be the worlds leading think tank on international governance with recognized impact on significant global problems, and realizing the magnitude of the issues to be tackled global economic crises, the dangers of climate change, the immense disparities in world development and threats to security including nuclear risks and armed conflict the road toward recognized impact appears to be long and challenging. Helping to transform how the entire planets nation-states and people interact among themselves is no small objective. A think tanks only tools to generate innovations in international governance are research, policy development and building bridges from knowledge to power through dialogue among scholars, policy makers and the public worldwide. What influence on global governance has CIGI been able to achieve after only a single decade on a road whose milestones stretch through centuries? CIGIs tenth anniversary is an opportunity to take stock of the organizations history and accomplishments. Its story begins with the private conversations in which such an enterprise was first imagined, continues to CIGIs founding in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada on July 30, 2001, and through several years of rapid growth. This is the account of an ambitious vision, spurred by early and remarkable success in the eyes of external independent evaluators for a young think tank newly arrived on the global stage of multilateral cooperation and problem solving. This story is one of bold experimentation, with intrepid course corrections as CIGI explored various strategies to guide its mission. In the first 10 years, even as different approaches were undertaken, the fellows, researchers and staff of CIGI generated a considerable first press of research and commentary on multilateral subjects, while convening global experts to discuss the most

critical issues. CIGI established partnerships with universities, government bodies and other think tanks, developing an international network of academics, researchers and policy practitioners. And at the hub of all of this activity, the impressive CIGI Campus began to rise, home to CIGIs hopes for even greater impact in the years ahead. The story of CIGI begins in early 2001, when co-CEO of Research In Motion Jim Balsillie engaged in conversations with friends and advisers about his desire to build capacity in Canada to act on the international stage. His goal was to lay the framework for an institution tasked with helping solve the worlds most pressing challenges. Balsillies early advisers in this regard included: John English, author, historian and former member of Parliament; Paul Heinbecker, then Canadas ambassador to the United Nations (UN); David Johnston, then University of Waterloo president and now Canadas governor general; Paul Martin, then finance minister and later prime minister of Canada; Bob Rosehart, then president of Wilfrid Laurier University; and Harry Swain, former federal deputy minister of industry. International governance especially the lack of it soon emerged as the linchpin connecting all major global challenges. If we cant get along with one another, if we cant govern ourselves, if we cant establish viable communities in each part of the world, then prosperity just goes to nothing, Balsillie said. In collaboration with his circle of advisers, he began to develop plans for a new centre of research and expertise that would help create greater capacity in Canada to be effective at the international level. On July 30, 2001, Industry Canada officially incorporated The New Economy Institute. It quickly became apparent, as planning proceeded, that the think tank required a name that would better reflect its governance focus and global mission. On July 19, 2002, the name was changed with letters patent to The Centre for International Governance Innovation. The initial funding came in

the form of a $30 million endowment, including $20 million from Balsillie and $10 million from Mike Lazaridis, co-CEO of RIM. Matching federal funds of $30 million were announced on July 23, 2002 (and formalized in a 2003 agreement), as a donation through the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Other funding support for CIGI in its early years included $17 million from the Ontario government (matched by another $17 million from Balsillie), an anonymous major donation for the Africa Initiative, a $1.6 million property in North Dumfries, Ontario, from Klaus and Anna Woerner and $2.9 million from Michael Barnstijn and Louise MacCallum. At the time of the federal funding announcement, Balsillie said CIGI would provide coherence, focus and voice to the best minds in the world on the global economy. Our exceptional research will influence the development of new rules of the game with respect to the worlds economy. Balsillie said in a later interview: The world is orders of magnitude more integrated than 60 years ago, and the institutions that manage and support and guide and protect the direction of the world havent evolved to keep pace. With its vision and purpose articulated, CIGI was set on its course. But even though the papers of incorporation had been duly filed and funding put in place, there would still be a great deal of recruiting, creativity and intellectual energy required to begin filling what was essentially a blank canvas. Before CIGI could launch research and policy development programs, it needed to find a temporary office and build a team. CIGIs first postal address was a main-floor office in the University of Waterloos Hagey Hall, with only founding Executive Director John English and his assistant Lena Yost on staff.
Klaus and Anna Woerner donated the $1.6 million Woerner Centre to CIGI. The 60-acre property hosts conferences, retreats and workshops. Louise MacCallum and Michael Barnstijn were among the early supporters of CIGI, donating $2.9 million in 2004.
Next, CIGI moved into the WaterlooSt. Jacobs railway station in Waterloo. In September 2003, CIGI moved into its permanent home, the former Seagram Museum building, purchased from the City of Waterloo.
Many visitors to CIGIs headquarters at 57 Erb Street West are awestruck when they step into the main lobby, surrounded by a magnificent display of whisky-aging barrels. Originally a rack warehouse for the Joseph E. Seagram & Sons Distillery founded in 1857, the building later operated as a distillery museum from 1984 to 1997, designed by architect Barton Myers, winner of a Governor Generals Medal for Architecture in 1986. The space remains steeped in history while housing a forward-looking research institution. A think tanks chief assets are, of course, its people. Among the first staff in 2002, in addition to English and Yost, were: John Milloy, director of public affairs at CIGI before he was elected to provincial Parliament in 2003, later becoming minister of training, colleges and universities; and Andrew Cooper, a University of Waterloo professor and CIGIs longest-serving expert (a distinguished fellow in 2011). Cooper produced CIGIs first official publication, a 2005 working paper on coalitions of the willing. Paul Heinbecker joined CIGI as a senior fellow in January 2004, and later became a distinguished fellow. By mid-decade, CIGI had as many as 50 staff and 30 fellows. The inaugural meeting of the International Board of Governors (IBG), CIGIs advisory board, was held at CIGI in October 2003. Early IBG members included, among many others: Jagdish Bhagwati, special adviser to the UN on globalization; Joe Clark, former prime minister of Canada; Bill Graham, former minister of foreign affairs for Canada; Ahmed Galal, managing director of the Economic Research Forum, Egypt; Angel Gurria, former secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); Anne-Marie Slaughter, then dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University; and Maureen ONeil, then president of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The IBG engaged CIGIs leaders in an in-depth discussion on research areas where the new think tank might have an impact.

CIGIs early efforts led to the creation of other organizations. In 2005, CIGI and its partners launched International Governance Leaders and Organizations Online (IGLOO), an online research portal. Incorporated separately, IGLOO moved out of CIGI to a Kitchener, Ontario, office in 2008. CIGI also played a central role in the 200507 transformation of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs into the Canadian International Council (CIC). With more than 1,300 members in 16 chapters in 2011, the CIC is a nationwide council established to strengthen Canadas role in international affairs. And in 2007, CIGI partnered with the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University to launch the Balsillie School of International Affairs (for more on the school, see The CIGI Campus, page 29). By the mid-2000s, CIGIs research programs had begun to expand rapidly. The pace of publishing outputs and events activity increased dramatically in 2005, and has continued at a steady rate.

Executive Director, Thomas Bernes, recalls his first contact with CIGI was through attending workshops that were part of the Breaking Global Deadlocks project in 2006-07. CIGI was, and remains, the first major Canadian effort to promote research and dialogue on global governance challenges that are central to Canadas future prosperity, says Bernes. For me, this was exciting, as the think tank world has traditionally been dominated by US institutions that tend to view issues from their perspective. CIGI has the possibility to encourage a greater focus in Canada on these issues and bring a broader perspective to the global dialogue. Some of CIGIs first major projects had considerable impact; most notably, CIGIs proposals for innovation in the G8 system helped lead to the creation of the G20 at the leaders level. Even while CIGI was a relatively young organization, its programs were establishing an international reputation.

CIGI at ten Programs overview
URING ITS first decade, CIGI has produced several hundred publications that examined international policy and governance systems. This has
been accomplished under a variety of program streams and clearly defining these program themes has been one of CIGIs ongoing challenges. CIGIs early research was focused on just two thematic areas international relations and the international economy. A subsequent research model was added mid-decade to create dedicated program streams to operate within largescale projects drawing on researchers from across the organization, such as the 200509 BRICSAM (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, ASEAN states and Mexico) project, which explored the shifting global order and emerging economies. In 2008, CIGIs research coalesced around six themes: International Law, Institutions and Diplomacy; Shifting Global Order; International Economic

Governance; Environment and Resources; Global and Human Security; and Health and Social Governance. However, a federal evaluation of CIGI later that year recommended a sharper focus. Thus, the research programs were streamlined into four pillars in the CIGI Strategic Plan 201015: Global Economy, Environment and Energy, Global Development and Global Security. Regardless of the research model, CIGIs programs will, ultimately, be judged for their impact. By that measure, CIGI can justifiably lay claim to tangible success. For example, experts and policy makers agree that CIGIs

NE OF the more disturbing aspects of the 2008-09 financial crisis, besides its scope and lingering damage, was a widespread failure to recognize
the warning signs. This systemic inability to foresee the US housing bubbles collapse, and avert the resulting global financial turmoil, illustrated a profound gap in our collective understanding and regulation of macroeconomics. Addressing the glaring need for greater stability in the global economy is a key policy development theme at CIGI. The global financial crisis provided the necessary impetus to create the leaders level G20 (L20) summits, a development for which CIGI experts had advocated extensively. But even in the earliest days of CIGI, global interdependencies were a subject of clear focus. From the outset, CIGI worked to develop an in-depth understanding of the impact of emerging Asian economies on the global economy, including the implications for Canada and Ontario. Studies on the rise of China and India, and analyses of emerging powers in economic and diplomatic spheres, were conducted by a number of CIGI fellows, including John Whalley, Manmohan Agarwal, Andrew Cooper and Jorge Heine. CIGI projects also explored improvements to the multilateral trade system. In 2009, CIGI, with Wilfrid Laurier University Press and the IDRC, published Redesigning the World Trade Organization for the Twenty-first Century, edited by Senior Fellow Debra Steger. The book laid out the need for institutional reform of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and provided innovative, practical proposals. In some cases, CIGI put the spotlight on a particular region. In 2007, led by then Director of Research Daniel Schwanen, CIGI launched the Caribbean Economic Governance project. Researchers and leaders in the private and public sectors met to explore policy prescriptions for trade, investment, human capital and the fiscal outlook in the Caribbean region. But in hindsight, the most influential of CIGIs work in the economic realm

was its role in laying the groundwork for the creation of the G20 at the national leaders level. CIGI analyzed the rationale for a more inclusive arrangement than the G8, which lacked voices from emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil. As early as 2003, CIGI had begun to conduct research into a concept put forward by then Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin. Based on his experience as finance minister, Martin proposed that the G20 countries, which met only at the finance ministers level at that time, could become a positive force in addressing global problems if the gatherings were elevated to the leaders level. In response to this challenge, CIGI, in cooperation with several partners, began a comprehensive project to examine the feasibility of creating an L20. The premise was that only heads of government could effectively force the necessary leap to action. The initial phase of the L20 project investigated the hypothesis that many

global challenges required action by G8 leaders together with countries that were not members of that club. In a fusion of academic knowledge and practical experience, groups of experts met to discuss a wide range of topics, such as agricultural subsidies, climate policy, infectious diseases, water, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, financial crises, pandemics, fragile states, UN reform, energy security, official development assistance, international institutional reform and global governance. This first phase ended in May 2006, reaching the conclusion that an expanded version of the G8 was essential to break key deadlocks. The subsequent Breaking Global Deadlocks (BGD) phase (September 2006 to May 2007) applied the L20 hypothesis to climate change and energy security in particular. The BGD phase produced an illustrative consensus package, aggregating proposals that could be used at an enlarged summit table. This grand bargain included a list of actions, such as the mobilization

of a broad range of international organizations to contribute in their area of competence. The Widening/Deepening phase (September to November 2007) tested the BGD results with think tank representatives and other groups working on climate change, senior political personalities attending the Clinton Global Initiative, and media opinion leaders from the G8+5 (the five being Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa). Emerging from this discussion were the terms of a more refined climate change and energy deal. After several years of working on these three phases, the project leaders came to the conclusion that a major event or global crisis would be necessary to push leaders to meet in a G20 forum; the simple need for collective action was not impetus enough. In the fall of 2008, such a precipitating crisis arose, as the global financial system staggered under the cumulative weight of a series of disasters that began in the US housing market and quickly spread worldwide. In the waning days of his second administration, US President George W. Bush, at the urging of several world leaders, convened the first meeting of the G20 countries at the level of government leaders. Suddenly, the theoretical discussions were transformed, and the project partners were in a position to offer operational advice to senior officials and politicians. In 2008, CIGI began the next phase of the project, which focused on utilizing the network of experts established during the earlier phases to influence decision making at the global level. This was done through off-the-record briefings of officials hosting G8 and G20 summits. Additionally, CIGIs G20 Working Group engaged in an active program of research, policy analysis, conferences and workshops on G20 issues a process that continues in 2011. Since its first meeting in Washington, DC, the G20 quickly established itself as the premier forum for international economic cooperation, representing 85 percent of global GDP, 80 percent of world trade and two-thirds of the worlds
In September 2008, financial markets plunged around the world, causing a global recession and increases in unemployment but also giving impetus to the formation of the leaders G20 group, a development for which CIGI researchers had long advocated.

population. The institutional outcomes of the G20 have included upgrading the Financial Stability Forum into a more inclusive and robust Financial Stability Board (an organization analyzed in-depth by CIGI Chair Eric Helleiner) and conclusion of the Basel III agreement on banking supervision in less than a year a remarkable feat considering that it took more than five years to conclude Basel II. Meanwhile, the value of CIGIs G20 network has been recognized in a practical way by G8 and G20 summit hosts, who invited CIGI to organize briefings for officials preparing for the summits. This first occurred in February 2008, when Japan invited CIGI to assemble a group of experts to advise them on climate change policy the focus of the Hokkaido G8 Summit. Following this network event in Tokyo, Ambassador Nishimura, Japans chief climate change negotiator, wrote to the organizers: Once again, I just wanted you to know how much I feel indebted. Find an occasion for me to pay this debt.
CIGI commissioned Dusan Petricic to draw this editorial cartoon for a full-page ad in The Globe and Mail amid the Toronto G20 Summit.
CIGI was subsequently invited by Italy in 2009 and Canada in 2010 to brief the G8 officials on summit substance and process. One of the more significant measures of CIGIs growing influence was the briefing with then UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his G20 summit officials. In February 2009, CIGI, in collaboration with The Brookings Institution, convened a group of eminent thinkers on global financial issues to brief UK officials preparing for the London G20 Summit two months later. The meeting was organized at the request of the UK government to discuss global financial markets, the world economy and a coordinated response to the global financial crisis. Korea and France also invited CIGI to convene confidential consultations for the officials organizing the G20 summits in those countries in 2010 and 2011. Looking forward, CIGI expects to work with Mexico as it prepares to host the G20 summit in 2012.

The global financial crisis caused CIGI researchers to intensify their work on institutional reform at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In June 2009, in partnership with the Canadian International Council, CIGI hosted a joint task force on the Canadian perspective of the IMFs future role in the international financial system. Held in Ottawa, this workshop was the first phase of a larger project that sought to analyze the future responsibilities of the IMF in the global financial system. CIGI fellows, including Daniel Schwanen and Alan Alexandroff, also worked to monitor protectionist measures by G20 members in violation of their collective commitments at the peak of the global financial crisis (this was CIGIs participation in a project called the Global Trade Alert, a joint initiative with the Centre for Economic Policy Research, the IDRC and the World Bank). More recently, CIGI research has focused on fostering a deeper understanding of global interdependencies and new economic growth models that take into account growing resource and environmental constraints and vulnerabilities that were exposed by the financial crisis. These issues were the subject of a

the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET). This partnership was announced at the January 2011 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, by CIGI founder Jim Balsillie and George Soros, who founded INET in 2009 in response to the global financial crisis. INET is a non-profit organization providing fresh insight and thinking to promote changes in economic theory and practice through conferences, grants and education initiatives. Under the agreement, CIGI will provide $25 million over five years to support joint CIGIINET activities, in a partnership committed to broadening and accelerating the development of innovative thinking that will lead to solutions for the great economic challenges of the twenty-first century. INETs initiatives include: research grants designed to harness the new economic thinking crucial to effecting change; a campus outreach program that sees Nobel Laureates and world-renowned scholars visiting graduate

economics students to promote education, discourse and the sharing of new ideas; and an events program aimed at fostering open discussion, transparency and the amplification of fresh ideas. Under the CIGI-INET partnership, these activities including the grants and campus outreach are extended to Canadian researchers and campuses. In April 2011, CIGI sponsored 12 Canadian university students to attend the INET conference, Crisis and Renewal: International Political Economy at the Crossroads, held in Bretton Woods, NH. The conference was held at the historic Mount Washington Hotel site of the 1944 Bretton Woods conference and featured 200 of the worlds leading economic thinkers and former policy makers.

Students raised questions about policy development, the continued gender imbalance in economics and the shortcomings in economics curricula. CIGI experts were featured at the conference: Distinguished Fellow Paul Jenkins was the moderator for a session entitled Getting Back on Track: Macroeconomic Management After a Financial Crisis; CIGI Chair in Global Systems Thomas Homer-Dixon was a panellist in the session titled Exploring Complexity in Economic Theory; Executive Director Thomas Bernes moderated a session on sustainable economics, with Jim Balsillie providing introductory remarks; and Senior Visiting Fellow Paul Blustein moderated a session entitled The Architecture of Asia: Financial Structure and an Emerging Economic System. CIGI and INET are planning a joint conference, Sovereign Debtors in Distress: Are Our Institutions Up to the Challenge?, which will be held in Canada. As countries grow ever more interdependent through the flow of goods, services, capital and information, a stable global economy is vital to the welfare of our planet. In the years ahead, CIGIs Global Economy program will continue to explore and recommend policy solutions to the problems that undermine the stability of the world economy. While the 2008-09 financial crisis provided the impetus that led to macroeconomic coordination among G20 leaders, the restoration of economic growth saw the lifeboat mentality that allowed for global cooperation begin to evaporate. Progress on reforming international financial regulation continues at a slow pace, and the sovereign debt crises in European nations and political infighting over debt and deficit in the United States worry markets, central bankers, investors and consumers alike. CIGIs research programs will ask whether our institutions are up to these challenges, proposing road maps to better economic systems of governance to ensure greater prosperity for all.

LANET EARTH faces severe and growing stresses as a result of human population growth, development and consumption. Climate change, the
depletion of fossil fuels and surging food costs pose major challenges for international governance. Solutions seem to evade the grasp of national leaders preoccupied with many other concerns, such as economic growth, market instability, debt crises, armed conflicts and terrorism, citizen uprisings, natural disasters or the longevity of their own power. At the highest political levels, inaction and deadlock have made the worlds governance systems appear increasingly inadequate to address urgent environmental realties. In this vital area of research, CIGIs strength in advancing environment and energy policy solutions starts with understanding the connectedness of related systems in achieving sustainability. During the 2008-09 global financial crisis, as other think tanks concentrated on that issue, CIGI was among the global research institutions that continued to focus on sustainability. It remained the major crosscutting theme of the Africa Initiative, which in 2009 issued a special report on climate change on the African continent. Since 2010, the relaunched Environment and Energy program at CIGI has begun probing climate change, geoengineering, sustainable economics, alternative energy, agriculture and food security all from a governance perspective. CIGIs early work on the environment studied the importance of energy security for the United States. In a 2006 CIGI paper, Research Fellow Annette Hester outlined how a new US focus on energy alternatives would affect ethanol and agricultural markets. In 2008, Distinguished Fellow John Whalley, working with Ben Lockwood of the University of Warwick in the United

In 2009, CIGI, in cooperation with the US Council on Foreign Relations, the Brazilian Center for International Relations and the Institute of International Relations at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, co-hosted three workshops on policy opportunities arising from the global financial crisis for creating sustainable energy partnerships in the Americas. The same year, CIGIs Environment and Resources Working Group produced a special report, Environmental Sustainability and the Financial Crisis. It urged policy makers not to lose sight of the environment amid fiscal stimulus efforts, as long-term economic prosperity requires a healthy ecosystem. More recently, the work plan for CIGIs Environment and Energy program has been informed, in part, by CIGI founder Jim Balsillies participation in the UN High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the panel in 2010, bringing together world-leading policy makers and thinkers to formulate a new blueprint for sustainable growth. The panel was tasked with exploring different approaches to effectively tackle hunger, inequality and the deterioration of the natural environment, with a report due in early 2012. Among the panellists, Balsillie is the only Canadian and the only member from the private sector. The Secretary-General instructed the 22-person panel to think big, to be bold and also practical. The panel is led by two co-chairs, Finnish President Tarja Halonen and South African President Jacob Zuma. Members include high-ranking government officials and representatives from civil society from both developed and developing countries. Ban Ki-moon added: The time for narrow agendas, narrow interests and narrow thinking is over. The challenges of the twenty-first century require nothing less. Supporting Balsillie on the UN panel is David Runnalls, who joined CIGI as a distinguished fellow in 2010 and is the acting director of the Environment

and Energy program. In the 1970s, Runnalls served as a consultant for renowned British economist and author Barbara Ward, for her award-winning book, Only One Earth, which helped inform the first global conference on the environment held in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1972. The following year, he and Ward co-founded the International Institute for Environment and Development. Runnalls is also a former president of the International Institute for Sustainable Development, where he remains a distinguished fellow. Addressing climate change requires collective action, coordinated at the global level. The path to action, however, remains unclear. Following the 2009 UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, faith in multilateral negotiations began to wane. In this context, CIGI devoted its annual fall conference in 2010 to exploring how all levels of government and society could be mobilized to generate near-term progress. Led in part by Senior Fellow Jason Blackstock, CIGI 10: Climate of Action was a forum for discussing the

roadblocks and how to break them. CIGI 10 conference round tables were built around related themes: understanding the obstacles in the way of top-down global negotiations; examining the bottom-up initiatives from lower levels of government or regional initiatives; exploring how to restructure global negotiations; and building better links between climate science and policy. Delegates included climate change experts, scientists and policy makers from around the world. Keynote addresses were presented by Jim Prentice, then Canadas minister of the environment, and former UK Science Adviser Sir David King. Going forward, CIGIs Environment and Energy projects will focus on how to form influential knowledge-to-action frameworks, providing analytically grounded, timely and practical advice to decision makers. CIGI researchers believe the resulting dynamic networks will help build the international governance capacity needed to create a sustainable global future.

MAGES AND stories of an eastern African nation crippled by drought and starvation dominate the headlines and front pages of newspapers. With up
to 10 million people requiring food aid, a UN official declares it the worst humanitarian disaster on earth. These reports might cause some to think of Ethiopia and Sudan in the 1970s, Ethiopia again in the mid-1980s, and Sudan again in the 1990s. Sadly, this was the grave scenario playing out in Somalia in mid-2011. Repeated cycles of famine in Africa serve as a stark reminder of the vital and continued need for coordinated policy innovation in development, all around the world. CIGIs Global Development program emphasizes the importance of systemic coherence for overcoming international challenges to sustainable growth. The programs goal is to identify international governance innovations that support poverty reduction and facilitate the transition to more effective, efficient and equitable delivery of public goods. Exploring, identifying and projecting the shifting global dynamic has been key to CIGIs work in development research and analysis. In 2005, CIGI launched its largest research initiative to that point, the BRICSAM project. The BRICSAM countries are Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, the ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) and Mexico fast-growing developing economies. CIGI researchers studied the implications of this economic restructuring for the world economy and international governance. The BRICSAM project represented a step up in CIGIs partnerships, with 17 participant organizations from nine countries contributing research. BRICSAM was also a theme of CIGIs first annual conference, CIGI 05. CIGIs 200507 Global Health Governance project examined how the worldwide health governance system was adapting and responding to new threats, which were proving to be larger in scope and scale than in the past.

Using a cross-disciplinary approach, work under this project addressed global health issues ranging from climate-induced pandemics to the brain drain of health practitioners and their migration across borders. CIGI researchers produced analyses to strengthen institutions in both developed and developing countries, to influence the agendas of international opinion leaders and multilateral institutions related to health governance challenges. In its early years, CIGI made a commitment to engage and inform young researchers about the most pressing global issues. In the summer of 2005, in cooperation with the IDRC and Beijing Normal University, CIGI launched the Young China Scholars Poverty Research Network. The project saw senior researchers act as mentors, offering advice and instruction to young scholars on how best to conduct research and present their findings. CIGI also engaged in a multi-year project led by Distinguished Fellow John Whalley, based at the University of Western Ontario, to produce policy-relevant research on China. It focused on five areas: Chinas exchange rates, reserve management and monetary policies; trade and investment; climate change; tax policies; and China and other rapidly emerging economies. In 2008, CIGI held its annual fall conference on the theme of China in the shifting world order. While China had been an economic force since the 1970s, its unprecedented growth and rising political power in the new millennium were causing the rest of the world to take notice. CIGI 08 explored Chinas impact as an emerging power on the world stage, examining how international governance structures and different regions, including other developing countries, were adjusting to this new global force. As the poorest continent, Africa is considered most vulnerable to a climate change catastrophe, due to its inability to cope with the physical and human

capacity in Africa to bolster its resilience to climate change and to develop sustainable practices. It was an ambitious plan that required an equally ambitious research team to make it a reality. In July 2008, CIGI, in partnership with Makerere University and the Salama Shield Foundation, launched the Africa Initiative, a multi-year, donorsupported program with three components: a research program; an exchange program; and a grants program. These programs were focused on six core thematic areas: conflict resolution; energy; food security; health; migration; and climate change a theme that crosscuts all the core themes. The Africa Initiatives research program supports field-based research on governance issues critical to the continent in the six thematic areas. It focuses on the interface between human behaviour and the various themes as they relate to the design and implementation of public policy. Identified research priorities aim to inform and influence both policy within Africa and policy that affects Africa. The Africa Initiative exchange program supports short-term academic placements for Africans and Canadians undertaking research on Africa. Launched in November 2009, the exchange program had, by 2011, given 27 highly motivated students and 48 faculty an opportunity to discover and impart new learning in a cross-cultural experience, with many of the African students coming to Waterloo to attend programs at Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo. In November 2009, the Africa Initiative held a meeting in Uganda titled, Africas Climate Change Reality: The Africa Initiative Congress on Climate Change. This event was held over four days, and covered topics such as assessing regional needs in combatting climate change and how to mobilize human and technical resources. About 750 policy makers, academics, experts, students and representatives from non-governmental organizations,

for international development. Nine years earlier, the UN had launched its Millennium Campaign, seeking a concrete action plan for the world to achieve eight Millennium Development Goals by the year 2015, to reverse the grinding poverty, hunger and disease affecting billions of people. With less than five years remaining in that mandate, CIGI and IFRC undertook to explore the plan beyond the stated target year, given that the goals were unlikely to be met. The project was co-directed by CIGI Senior Fellow Barry Carin and Mukesh Kapila, under secretary-general for national society and knowledge development at the IFRC. As in the past, the next phase in CIGIs Global Development programming will be informed by current realities, while also looking over the horizon beyond the coming shifts in the global order. As new donor nations emerge on the global development scene, including China, Brazil and India, so too will new governance issues and opportunities for policy making.

UST A FEW months after CIGI was established in 2001, the worlds outlook on peace and conflict changed dramatically and irrevocably. On September
11 that year, al-Qaedas devastating attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93 shattered existing security paradigms and led to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and a new regime of terrorist and counterterror measures around the world. In the ensuing decade, other issues of global security have also leapt forward in worldwide consciousness, including concerns about cybersecurity, increasing questions about when UNsanctioned forces should intervene in civil wars and heightened awareness of nuclear risks in the wake of Japans 2011 Fukushima disaster. CIGIs Global Security program seeks to study these issues, with an eye to how international governance systems can mitigate or even avert these dangers. As much of CIGIs early work in this area was conducted in the shadow of 9/11, its researchers focused on countries and regions directly affected by the new terms of engagement for the international community. CIGI also explored the status of security in failed states outside of the post-9/11 framework, and produced substantial policy-development recommendations in nuclear industry governance. In March 2005, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan released In Larger Freedom, a report that explored the emerging contradiction between the UN Charters most basic purpose, to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, and its most basic principle, the non-interference in the internal affairs of member states. Within a month of the release, CIGI researchers, in conjunction with Wilfrid Laurier University and the Academic Council of the United Nations System (ACUNS), convened a group of expert practitioners, leading academics, civil society representatives and UN officials to address the reports many ideas. That conference, The UN: Adapting to the 21st Century, marked the start of

CIGIs UN Reform project, led by Distinguished Fellows Paul Heinbecker and Louise Frchette, the latter a former deputy secretary-general of the UN. At the time, Frchette captured the issues at play: We will not enjoy development without security; we will not enjoy security without development; and we will not enjoy either without respect for human rights. CIGIs early work in global security helped inform Canadian foreign policy. In 2006, Andrew Thompson, while a CIGI research associate, addressed the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development on the human rights situation in Haiti. The CIGI book, Haiti: Hope for a Fragile State (co-published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press), was cited six times in the committees report. In 200810, Senior Visiting Fellow Mokhtar Lamani led a securityrelated project on the future of Iraq. In addition to field research, reports and workshops, the project led to the publication of the CIGI book From Desolation

to Reconstruction: Iraqs Troubled Journey, which Lamani co-edited with Senior Fellow Bessma Momani. In an overlap with CIGIs global development work, Senior Researcher Hany Besada led a 2009 project that examined peace-building efforts in the fragile West African states of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cte dIvoire, with a focus on the role of the private sector in leading the reconstruction initiatives. In 2009, the focus of CIGIs Global Security research turned to security sector reform (SSR), under the guidance of Senior Fellow Mark Sedra. SSR is a framework of principles and best practices for the reconstruction of the security architecture (including the military, police and courts) in fragile, collapsed and post-conflict states. Since April 2010, the projects major initiative has been

major research project was the Security Sector Reform Monitor, a quarterly publication that tracked developments in the SSR processes of five postconflict countries Afghanistan, Burundi, Haiti, Timor-Leste and Southern Sudan through peer-reviewed, field-based analysis. The SSR Monitor was superseded in 2011 by a series of issue papers on SSR. Work in this area also led to CIGIs first ebook, The Future of Security Sector Reform. Edited by Sedra and published in November 2010, the book features 20 papers by leading SSR experts. Policy makers have consulted CIGIs security sector researchers regularly to assess the policy options before them, including: the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS), Public Safety Canada, the Government of Switzerland and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). In September 2006, CIGI launched its Nuclear Energy Futures (NEF) project in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Treaty Compliance (CCTC) at Carleton University.

Since the NEF project began, global nuclear governance has moved to the centre stage, after years of stagnation. In 2008, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) formed a commission to advise on the future of the organization. In 2009, an international commission on nuclear energy and disarmament was formed, and the Obama administration committed itself to progress toward nuclear disarmament. In December 2010, CIGI, again in collaboration with the CCTC, launched a project on Strengthening and Reform of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Led by Findlay, the project seeks to capitalize on the success of the NEF project by advancing ideas about the future of the IAEA contained in the NEFs final report. The IAEA is the paramount instrument of global governance in the nuclear realm in all three areas of governance concern: nuclear safety, nuclear security and nuclear non-proliferation.

current strengths and weaknesses. The nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan, following a tsunami in March 2011, brought increased attention to the IAEA. Now is an even more appropriate time for an independent external review of the agency, Findlay said. As CIGI continues to develop its Global Security program, questions to be examined include: how can multilateral governance systems best operate in a world where security is deeply entrenched in issues of national sovereignty? Are the UN Security Council and other multilateral bodies prepared to meet the challenges ahead, and how well do they interact with military forces, police, intelligence agencies and courts that serve strictly one-state or regional interests? As with all of CIGIs research themes, global security has a crosscutting overlap with other program areas for example, it has clear

ANADA ENJOYS a unique place among the nations of the world. Its history of innovation, especially in economic, technological and social
development, rivals and even surpasses those of much larger countries. It is only natural then, that Canada would contribute to international affairs on a similar scale. The CIGI Campus is the result of Jim Balsillies vision to build capacity in international affairs in Canada and to make CIGI one of the most innovative think tanks in the world. Canada is uniquely positioned to bridge the disconnect between human achievement and global challenges, Balsillie said in 2007 upon founding the Balsillie School of International Affairs (BSIA), a cornerstone of the new campus. The CIGI Campus, costing $66 million to build and scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011, received $50 million in funding from the federal and provincial governments, including $25 million through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program and $25 million through the Ontario budget. The City of Waterloo donated the 3.6-acre former Seagram distillery site, valued at $5 million, through a 99-year lease. The CIGI Campus was envisioned as a hub of partnerships among CIGI, global research institutions and the academic and research communities in Canada. A unique incubator of ideas would be created by the physical proximity of a global think tank, a highly regarded school of international affairs, and other centres of study. The think tank itself would bring to the campus its opportunities for research, and the expertise of experienced policy practitioners with international networks. The BSIA added the energy of scholars, faculty and students alike, with new thinking for the next generation. Another proposed inhabitant of the campus is an international law program in a partnership between CIGI and an existing Ontario law school. The campus is within an hours drive of eight Ontario universities, and

located in a region that is home to world-leading technology firms, as well as leading institutes for theoretical physics and quantum computing. When it was founded in 2007, the BSIA represented the largest initiative in the social sciences in Canadian history. The three-way partnership includes CIGI, Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) and the University of Waterloo (UW). Its first director was UW professor Ramesh Thakur, also a CIGI fellow at the time. UW President David Johnston, later appointed governor general of Canada, declared the BSIA a wonderful investment, both in terms of developing this area as the knowledge capital of Canada and for the future of international relations. The Balsillie School offers three programs: a Ph.D. in global governance, a masters in global governance and a masters in international public policy. In May 2010, five Ph.D. students at the BSIA won major national scholarships. David Welch, CIGI Chair in Global Security and director of the Balsillie School, was proud of the students accomplishments with the school still in its infancy. The school was established precisely to help find answers, Welch said. Our three graduate programs draw superb students from around the world who are attracted by the opportunity to pursue genuinely interdisciplinary research in Canadas most exciting intellectual community. In 2010, the BSIA unveiled a new logo that features a stylized, borderless networked globe in blue and gold, representing the colours of its three partners. It also launched an engaging new website, which was credited with an increase in international applications in 2011. Also in 2011, in a committee process overseen by the three-way Executive Partnership Committee, it forged a new governance agreement to elaborate on the original principles outlined in the 2007 Collaboration Agreement. With these and other steps, the new school was ready to move into its splendid new home on the CIGI Campus. For architect Shirley Blumberg of Torontos Kuwabara Payne McKenna

Blumberg Architects (KPMB), the CIGI Campus was an opportunity to create an environment perfect for human interaction. Our approach to designing educational buildings is that what happens outside the classroom is as important as what happens inside the classroom. So, education, if you boil it down, its really about discourse, Blumberg said. KPMBs design creates a vibrant sanctuary, with a bell tower and an interior courtyard a layout inspired by the University of Torontos Massey and Trinity Colleges, and others in the traditional Oxbridge style. A green space with benches and trees lies within the quadrangle formed by threestorey academic buildings and an auditorium pavilion. The main entrance on Erb Street, adjacent to CIGIs front door, is distinguished by a super-scaled entrance canopy with a wood soffit. The campus continues the revitalization of the uptown neighbourhood of the City of Waterloo, paying homage to the simple brick constructions of the industrial past while serving the new knowledge-and-information economy of the city today. Innovative design features include the use of BubbleDeck floors, which place large hollow plastic balls inside the poured concrete slabs to eliminate more than 30 percent of the deadload weight, enabling a 25-percent reduction in structural costs and reducing the buildings carbon footprint. Other efficiency features include rainwater capture and storage for a grey-water system, and in-slab heating and cooling systems, resulting in a 60-percent energy-use reduction. The new building is equipped with a 250-seat auditorium and a full suite of interactive technologies, for state-of-the-art experiences in the classrooms. Campus inhabitants will be able to enjoy video conferencing, web streaming, multi-screen projections, electronic archival of lectures, hearing assistance and translation booths.

UBLIC ART can surprise, delight, inform and inspire passersby. Visitors to the CIGI Campus courtyard are treated to a thought-provoking and
creative experience in this regard. The courtyard features a significant public art piece by artist Richard Fleischner. His concept was selected from nine artist submissions to visually represent the goals and aspirations of the CIGI Campus. Fleischner, born in the Bronx in 1944, is known internationally as a sculptor, painter and installation artist. His award-winning landscapes emphasize the relationship of architecture to the natural world. His studio and home are in Providence, Rhode Island. Four main elements comprise Fleischners artwork for the CIGI Campus: a low, circular terrazzo bench bisected by a pathway; a diagonal knee-wall made of electroplated aluminum with a small rectangular terrazzo element at one end; a tall column of galvanized steel; and 16 copper discs on the ground. The copper discs commemorate 19 significant milestones in international governance (for the complete list, see the following section), each marked with the name of the event, the date, and the latitude and longitude of the events location. The arrangement of the discs is based on an unseen world map, centred on Waterloo, Ontario. The 19 milestones were selected through an internal competition among CIGI staff and fellows in late 2010. A panel of experts selected the winning entries from a total of more than 80 submitted, including the signing of the Magna Carta, the French Revolution and the founding of the UN. They are not meant to be an exclusive archive of the only moments that matter in world history, but rather, form an impression of the sweep of history behind the idea of international governance. The milestone markers may also inspire visitors to the CIGI Campus to muse about the major progress in international relations that still lies ahead.

But in an expert panels view, judging 80-plus submissions from CIGI staff, the following 19 events merited inclusion in the CIGI Campus public-art installation (see previous page). If not cast in stone, they are certainly now cast in copper.
The Magna Carta issued Runnymede, England June, 1215 King John of England, under considerable duress, issued the charter in order to proclaim certain liberties and accept that his will was not arbitrary, thereby establishing the first modern concept of individual rights and the obligations of the state to its citizens. The Peace of Westphalia began King John signs the Magna Carta. Mnster, Germany October, 1648 This series of peace treaties was signed between May and October of 1648. It ended the Thirty Years War (161848) and the Eighty Years War (15681648), and established the principle of national sovereignty and the non-interference of one nation-state in the affairs of another. The French Revolution commenced Paris, France 1789 The revolution in France ended the French monarchist era and introduced sweeping political reform, including modern principles of citizenship and inalienable rights. It sparked the Napoleonic Wars, which led to the Congress of Vienna and eventually the Concert of Europe a precursor to the League of Nations and the United Nations. The International Committee of the Red Cross convened Napoleon Bonaparte Geneva, Switzerland February, 1863 In 1862, Henri Dunant proposed a permanent relief agency for humanitarian aid and a government treaty to allow it to provide aid in a war zone.

ROM THE OUTSET, CIGI has sought to engage the public with a wide array of free lectures and other events. It did so to build public understanding
of its programs in recognition of the think tanks public funding, but also because policy influence is achieved in part through the electorate. As it gained experience and skills, CIGI also began to build a more sophisticated program of communications and outreach that includes a dynamic website with multimedia features, a state-of-the-art broadcast studio, a robust program of media relations and effective deployment of new social media. The Signature Lecture Series is CIGIs longest-running public outreach event. Held regularly, these free lectures draw as many as 250 people in each sitting at the CIGI Atrium and in the fall of 2011 will move to the new CIGI Auditorium. Since 2010, CIGI public events have also been webcast live, available free to any viewer in the world with Internet access. CIGIs lectures have featured major names in research and policy making on global governance issues. Speakers have included: Anne-Marie Slaughter, former director of policy planning for the United States Department of State; Jeff Rubin, former chief economist at CIBC World Markets and author of Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller; retired US General Wesley Clark; the Honourable Bill Graham, former minister of foreign affairs for Canada; retired Lieutenant-General and Canadian Senator Romo Dallaire; Jeffrey Sachs, economist and director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University; Dambisa Moyo, economist and author of Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa; Irene Khan, former secretary general of Amnesty International; and environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. CIGI volunteers helped stage all of these events (and more). Soon after inception, CIGI identified a need to encourage student engagement in world issues. Commencing in 2005 and continuing for four years, CIGI hosted the Global Youth Forum, an annual one-day conference at CIGI for 150

high school students. Also in 2005-06, CIGI partnered with the World Bank to host the first World Bank Graduate Seminar in Canada, for approximately 120 graduate students. Other public events held in the first decade included a noon-hour Food for Thought lecture series and a cinematic series that combined documentaries on global issues with expert commentary. CIGI also supported international photo exhibitions including Voices on the Rise: Afghan Women Making the News in 2007, presented in collaboration with the Embassy of Afghanistan, and Delivering Hope, a collection of images from the UN World Food Programme that focused on the difficulties in delivering assistance to the Democratic Republic of Congo. An annual media panel, which CIGI presents jointly with the Waterloo chapter of the Canadian International Council, always draws a packed house and features Canadian foreign correspondents relating the challenges of

covering wars, disasters and other stories abroad. Other CIGI partnerships in community events have included: spOtlight Celebrate Our Artists Weekend in 2008; Ecofest 2009, a day of interactive learning and a celebration of the environment; and CU Expo 2011, showcasing exemplars in communityuniversity partnerships worldwide. While thinking globally, CIGI is mindful of its presence in the Waterloo community. In addition to employing 50 people locally and investing in local education infrastructure, CIGI fosters ties with the local business community as a member of the Greater Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber of Commerce. Since 2010, it has formally participated in the annual employee payroll deduction plan of the United Way of Kitchener Waterloo. Staff and experts speak regularly at local service clubs and events, when requested. CIGI staff are encouraged

Sustainability is an ongoing part of CIGIs public service mandate. CIGIs conferences began a greening program in 2006 and were recognized by Zerofootprint for their reduced environmental impact. Through its Sustainability Committee, CIGI joined Sustainable Waterloos Regional Carbon Initiative in 2011 to foster good environmental practices internally. To make its voice heard in more public channels, CIGI opened its broadcast studio in mid-2011, allowing in-house production of videos, media interviews, photo shoots and webcasts. The studio is directly linked, through fibre optic cable, to global television networks, enabling live-to-air interviews with CIGI experts. Within days of opening, the studio enabled television interviews on three continents CBC Toronto and Bloomberg Asia and UK. The studio has also been deployed steadily for CIGI multimedia productions, including the first season of the Inside the Issues podcast series, in 2010-11. Throughout 2010 and in 2011, CIGI increased its social media campaign. The new Social Media Squad offered Twitter lessons for staff and fellows keen to tweet, while CIGIs Facebook page and YouTube channel helped increase traffic to CIGIs substantial storehouse of publications online. CIGIs public affairs team deployed new systems for connecting with mass media around the world, subscribing to a database with tens of thousands of journalists worldwide. CIGI communications specialists joined its G20 Working Group members in the media centres of the G20 summits in Toronto and Seoul to help connect the think tanks experts to journalists. And in 2010, CIGI launched a quarterly enewsletter, CIGI Worldwide, delivering news about its programs and projects to thousands of subscribers. Whether by engaging the public in Waterloo or proactively disseminating its message to media and CIGI subscribers worldwide, CIGI will continue to develop its methods of outreach, all in support of its core mission to infuse the world with better ideas for global governance.

The road ahead CIGI at ten

S CIGI enters its second decade, it is inspired by a fundamental belief that innovations in international governance can make the world a more
prosperous, sustainable and secure place for people everywhere. In its first decade, CIGI overcame the challenges of starting small and growing rapidly, and was able to build effective partnerships and recalibrate as needed. It can take heart from the words of others, who recognized CIGIs early successes and inspire us to forge ahead. Sam Daws, a senior research associate at the Centre for International Studies at the University of Oxford, sees CIGI as one of the only think tanks that can claim not just to have studied, but to help bring into being, an international framework for countries, the G20 grouping. Stewart Patrick, director of the International Institutions and Global Governance Program at the US Council on Foreign Relations, says that in just 10 short years, CIGI has established itself as the premier institution studying global institutional reform. Recognizing that CIGI already is making a difference may bolster the confidence of this young organization. At the same time, CIGI will need to be even more daring to truly have an impact on the economy, environment, development and security of a troubled world facing rapid change. Over the coming century, the nexus of issues is unambiguous: GDP growth, the number of people, energy consumption anyway you look at it, it is going up four or five times, Jim Balsillie told the 2011 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. To address these issues effectively, he said, we have to be radically ambitious. With that charge, CIGI is ready to write the next chapter in its story, continuing to address significant global problems by building bridges from knowledge to power. Driving the excellence of its research programs and outreach will be its desire to improve systems of governance for the good of the planet and all humankind.
