Reports and Global Policy Challenges on the global public goods Network

Dear Colleagues,
We invite your participation in the e-discussion forum "Match or
Mismatch?: Global Reports and Global Policy Challenges" to be held on
the global public goods Network (gpgNet) platform from 26 April to 10
May 2004.
Global reports are defined as: studies that present and analyze issues
of global concern and reach. Examples of global reports include the
World Education Report, World Information and Communication Report, the
Human Rights Watch World Report, and the SIPRI yearbook on Armanents,
Disarmament and International Security.
Looking at global reports over time gives us a sense of the various
issues that have captured sufficient attention from policy makers and
civil society to justify the effort to produce and diffuse a global
report. A recently released study shows that not only has the number of
global reports increased, the range of issue areas addressed has grown
too. One way to interpret the growth in the number and widening range
of issues covered by Global Reports is to suggest that this growth in
global reporting reflects the fact that an increasing range of Global
challenges has emerged.
The point up for debate is: Has there been a match or a mismatch between
the two?
To the extent that global reports influence (and are influenced by)
policymaking, addressing this question would contribute to giving us a
better sense of where the world is headed, where the shortcomings and
problems lie, where progress is being made and what needs to be done to
ensure a better future. Read the complete background paper at
