Substack Newsletter
You can follow Global Summitry Project’s (GSP) research and global governance insights from the weekly – usually, Alan’s Newsletter posts. These posts focus on the key areas of GSP inquiry, most particularly global governance advances and failures.
The posts cover the research and insights from the China-West Dialogue (CWD) a project that includes thought leaders from across the globe and co-chaired by Colin Bradford, a Senior non-resident Fellow at the Brookings Institution and myself.
Alan’s Newsletter posts also examine the global governance and global summitry research issues that emerge from the Special Issues of Global Summitry e-Journal. In addition posts examine and comment on the global effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN’s Agenda 2030.
Alan’s Newsletter posts target a key focus of the GSP, the global summits – their gatherings and their commitments and their outcomes. We try to cover all the key global summits including the G7, G20, BRICS, APEC and other global summits as well.
