MISSION STATEMENT<br />

<strong>The</strong> mission of Globalisation for the Common Good is to promote an ethical, moral and spiritual vision of globalisation and encourage<br />

adaptation of public policy at all levels that nurtures the common good of our global community. <strong>The</strong> vision: to help to build a world<br />

that is just, free and prosperous for all by serving and promoting the common good.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Aims of Globalisation for the Common Good are:<br />

• GCG commits itself to a wide range of activities that are all aimed at promoting and teaching, through cutting-edge scholarly<br />

activities, research and education on Globalisation for the Common Good.<br />

• GCG therefore, rather than espousing and defending a single discipline or paradigm, seeks to engage a broad, pluralistic<br />

range of viewpoints and models to be represented, compared, and ultimately synthesised into a richer understanding of the<br />

inherently complex systems it deals with.<br />

• GCG is committed to the idea of global cooperation and dialogue between scholars, business leaders, policy makers, opinion<br />

leaders and leading NGOs.<br />
