Research Programs
While CIGI’s early research focused solely on international relations and the international economy, the centre’s programs now examine four themes: the global economy, environment and energy, global development and global security. CIGI's global economy program includes analysis on macroeconomic regulation, financial regulation and trade policy. This program is a central area of the think tank's expertise, especially in the wake of the global financial crisis. The global development program seeks to identify innovations and adjustments that support sustainable development and poverty reduction, and facilitate the shift to more effective, efficient and equitable delivery of global public goods. The centre's global security program examines a range of issues in peace, conflict and security, including nuclear energy governance. CIGI’s environment and energy program focuses on developing innovative policy responses to ensure global sustainability.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or programs:
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
