Shaping Globalization!
As part of the international work of the Friedrich- Ebert-Stiftung, Dialogue on Globalization contributes worldwide to the debate on globalization and global governance. It is based on the premise that – through an inclusive and responsive global policy approach – globalization can be shaped into a direction that promotes peace, democracy and social justice.
The program draws intensely on the international network of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung – a German non-profit institution committed to the principles of social democracy with offices, programs and partners in more than 100 countries.
Dialogue on Globalization addresses ”movers and shakers“ both in developing countries and in the industrialized parts of the world. The program is coordinated by the head office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Berlin and by the FES offices in New York and Geneva.

The Euro Debt Crisis: Consequences for the Global Economy and Implications for Emerging Countries
International Conference in Shanghai, 21-22 January 2013
The SIIS/FES conference seeks to shed some light on the current situation in Europe, providing a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the Euro debt crisis, discuss the implications of different scenarios into which the crisis might develop both in terms of possible concerted global action to crisis resolution as well as in terms of limiting contagion and coping with the economic fallout of an ongoing crisis at current levels, or even an aggravation of the situation in the worst-case scenario of an erosion of the Eurozone.
This conference is organized jointly with the Shanghai Institute for International Studies (SIIS).

 COP 18 in Katar - Between »Fossil of the day« and »Best green practice«
Judith Althaus
The decision to host COP 18 in Qatar was discussed controversially. What is to be expected from a country, which in recent decades not only brought attention to itself with a less than progressive stance in international climate negotiations, but also to this day perpetuates its own fossil energy production with its massive subsidy policy?

World Climate Summit in Doha (COP 18): Objectives, Developments and Challenges
Nina Netzer
The 18th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 18) will take place in Doha, Qatar, from 26 November to 7 December 2012. The challenges on the agenda are large: Amongst others, a work programme for a new global agreement for all countries has to be set-up and the details of a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol have to be fleshed out. Whether a satisfactory result can be found in Doha, depends largely on whether or not there are brave pioneers and new alliances campaigning for progress. The publication gives an overview of challenges ahead and expectations of different stakeholders for the negotiations.

Sustainable Development
in an Unequal World: How Do We Really Get »The Future We Want?«
Werner Puschra and Sara Burke (Eds.)
»Is there something wrong with us as human beings that we can’t see we need a new paradigm of development?« This was a question that Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and head of Climate Justice, posed during the Rio+20 Summit. This publication of speeches from Rio+20 presents a strongly unified message from world leaders past and present that not only does environmental justice require social justice, which cannot be achieved without greater equality of income and wealth between and within countries, but even more emphatically, without serious and urgent progress toward environmental, social and economic justice, we face a growing crisis of democracy.
