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 research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
