“Collisions of values are of the essence of what they are and what we are…the world in which what we see as incompatible values are not in conflict is a world altogether beyond our ken; …it is on earth that we live, and it is here that we must believe and act.”
Isaiah Berlin, The Crooked Timber of Humanity
Welcome to the Global Governance and Sovereignty Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting effective global governance and advocating for the legitimate interests of states. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and interdependent, the importance of sovereignty remains significant, but its interpretation and application have evolved with the world’s changing dynamics.
At the Foundation, we believe that states must balance their sovereign interests with the need to cooperate and collaborate with other actors in the global system to address global challenges that require collective action. That is why we focus on research programs in Global Affairs, Economics and Development, and New Tech & Innovation, providing valuable insights into the complex interactions and dynamics between different stakeholders in the global system.
Our mission is to identify policies and practices that can promote sustainable development, social justice, and respect for the sovereignty of states. Through in-depth analysis and gatherings, we aim to raise awareness and contribute to shaping policy decisions on critical global issues, particularly in Africa and the MENA region, where we are based.
