The e-Journal Global Summitry
Special Issue
Distracted for a bit by other matters - I’m back now. The Global Summitry Project or GSP is responsible for the e-Jornal, Global Summitry https://globalsummitryproject.com/e-journal. The e-Journal is but the latest incarnation of continuing Journal content that goes back to before 2015. The Journal has had various publishers but the focus has always been on global governance and security - global order problems that intergovernmental institutions, states, substate and non-state actors meet, or struggle over.
Most recently I have focused the Journal on publishing a series of Special Issues (SI). The first, as you can see from visiting the website: https://globalsummitryproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Global-Summitry-Special-Issue-e-Journal-FallWinter-2021-2022-Updated-Version.pdf was titled “Strengthening Global Governance by Strengthening the G20”.
The current SI is now titled “Strengthening Global Governance by Achieving the SDGs”. The SDGs - the Sustainable Development Goals - have a long evolution which we will review in our next Post. But first let’s at least identify the SDGs.
