CIC at 30: Local Governance for Global Impact
Join the NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, reflect on three decades at NYU Arts & Science, and mark an exciting new chapter at the NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.
For three decades, CIC has connected global policy debates with practical approaches to governance, peace, justice, and inclusion. At a moment of profound global change, this special evening will reflect on CIC’s legacy and explore how international cooperation can become more effective, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of people and communities.
Under the theme “Local Governance for Global Impact,” distinguished speakers will share perspectives on the future of international cooperation and the vital connections among global commitments, national leadership, and local action.
