From Differences to Dialogue: U.S. & French Views on Global Governance

Semester

Spring 2005

The Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation for the Progress of Humankind (FPH) is a Swiss foundation set up in 1982 and sees itself as an actor contributing to the emergence of a global community through its interest in the relationship between different governmental levels (local to global governance) and in proposals for reforms in this field. The Foundation works as a forum to study the need for global governance reform in a world that is constantly changing. The objective of the workshop was to conduct an eight-month long investigation on American and French perspectives towards global governance and its reform.
