The Centre for Global Studies, University of Victoria

The Centre for Global Studies (CFGS) was created in 1998 with a mandate to conduct collaborative, policy oriented inquiry into the impacts of globalization on a broad spectrum of inter-related issues encompassing international governance and finance, the environment, security, and sustainable development.  The mission of the CFGS is to advance understanding and action on major issues of globalization by civil society, the private sector, governments, and international institutions.  Building on the University’s existing base of interdisciplinary expertise, the Centre provides a vehicle for bridging scholarship with the needs of policy-makers for concise and accessible analysis in response to the pressing challenges of global change.

Since its formation, the CFGS has evolved rapidly to establish an extensive program of international research activity. In conjunction with collaborators and partners from civil society, international institutions, other academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations, in addition to individual professionals, the CFGS has engaged in many projects since its creation.
