Research
The Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy supports interdisciplinary research that explores the challenges and consequences of economic globalization and its governance.
Through spring 2011 four collaborative projects led by faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison will anchor WAGE's activities.
Governing Global Energy Identifies emerging conflicts arising from changing energy policies, examines how they relate to existing global governance mechanisms, and assesses the preparedness of those mechanisms for tackling these new conflicts.
Managing Import Safety
Examines market, regulatory, and hybrid approaches to managing risk from contamination of food commodities in the global supply chain.
New Governance
Investigates new governance approaches arising out of efforts to promote international economic integration while preserving and updating distinctive national systems of social and environmental protection.
Remaking the Developmental State
Analyzes the changing role of law, politics, and the state in economic development in China, India, Brazil, and South Africa.
Also new in 2008 WAGE will support a Global Security Initiative, which builds on our past collaborative Governing Global Insecurities.
On an annual basis WAGE holds a competition for individual faculty research awards which provide funding for UW-Madison faculty to promote our understanding of globalization and its governance.
We invite you to learn more about these and other WAGE-supported research programs and resources, including our Past Collaboratives. Should you like more information about our research efforts, please feel free to contact WAGE at wage@intl-institute.wisc.edu or to interact directly with the relevant faculty researchers.
