Young-Leaders-Seminar zum Thema: "Global Public Goods - New Approaches in Development Cooperation"
16.02.2005
The Wittenberg-Center for Global Ethics - Research Department in cooperation with the Chair for Economic Ethics of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and the ZEIT Foundation announces a 3-day workshop:
"Managing Global Public Goods - New Approaches in Development Cooperation"
International Students and Young Professionals from all areas are invited to apply.
Content
Together with experts from different areas in theory and practice the international participants discuss current global challenges like poverty, hunger and diseases in relation to the (under)provision of Global Public Goods. Without specific incentives these goods tend to be underprovided but at the same time with growing global interdependences all (global) actors are increasingly affected by the external effects of "Global Goods" (for example a stable global finance system) and "Global Bads" (for example SARS).
Industrialized countries as well as non-state actors like companies start realizing that true development cooperation is in their own self-interest. This could mean a new orientation in development cooperation: instead of "development aid" in the sense of mere redistribution of income the common challenges could be addressed through the joint management of Global Public Goods, integrating national governments from developing and industrialized countries and their international organizations as well as non-state actors like companies and NGOs. In a second part the participants have the chance to work on a case where they will develop a strategy for productive development cooperation in order to sustainably provide a Global Public Good.
