Vol 14, Issue 4, September 2023

The fourth issue of Global Policy: Next Generation focuses on the agents and processes that run the institutions—and in some cases build the new institutions—structuring bulwarks against the multiple overlapping challenges of the twenty-first century. They include articles how on experts working on the SDGs manage the boundaries between science and politics; subnational actors' role in shaping the creation of the International Renewable Energy Agency; and the post-war outcomes for Ukraine tackling corruption. There is also a special memoriam section dedicated to Dr. Nathan Sears, an emerging scholar who had already fundamentally shaped the field of existential risk and who published one of the most impactful articles in GPNG's history.
