Global Governance Institute
The Global Governance Institute (GGI) is an independent, international non-profit think tank based in Brussels. It was founded in 2010 and brings together senior policy-makers, scholars and practitioners in order to devise, strengthen and improve forward-looking approaches to global governance.
