Why are these global


issues?
Four Point System for
Understanding Global Issues
(using war or terrorism as examples)
ANATOMY
Name the issue, what makes it a global issue?
DYNAMICS
 What forces are shaping the issue? What is
more likely its future trend?
ACTIONS
 What is being done to address the issue? By
whom? What more can be done?
CONSEQUENCES
 What are the likely consequences of inaction
or inadequate action?
Challenges in addressing global issues
Failure of group decision-making
“Public goods” nature of many global issues
Global issues are highly interdependent and multi-
dimensional (think about how climate change can cause
migration, for example)
Uncertain or missing data
Consequences are difficult to imagine
Multiple value conflicts
Political/cultural/economic/ideological constraints
International conventions, treaties, and
laws

International conferences and declarations

The G-7 and similar groupings

Global partnerships of governments,


private sectors, civil society organizations,
and multilateral institutions
