Globalization is setting the context and posing the principal problems that are driving the future of public policy. The challenges of the 21st century are increasingly defined by their global reach, as an interconnected world sees the emergence of new, more complex issues and highlights the growing disparity in outcomes across countries. As issues related to economic policy, international security, and development weave together in an intricate web, understanding and navigating this evolving space requires interdisciplinary skills, knowledge and experience.

We seek to make a contribution today, and develop future leaders, to address many of the major challenges of our time, including energy, climate change, resilience and sustainable development.
