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 working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
