Shaping Globalization!
As part of the international work of the Friedrich- Ebert-Stiftung, Dialogue on Globalization contributes worldwide to the debate on globalization and global governance. It is based on the premise that – through an inclusive and responsive global policy approach – globalization can be shaped into a direction that promotes peace, democracy and social justice.
The program draws intensely on the international network of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung – a German non-profit institution committed to the principles of social democracy with offices, programs and partners in more than 100 countries.
Dialogue on Globalization addresses ”movers and shakers“ both in developing countries and in the industrialized parts of the world. The program is coordinated by the head office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Berlin and by the FES offices in New York and Geneva.
Publications
Different publication series form part of our activities to enhance understanding of the global policy agenda and support public debate on future policy directions. The "International Policy Analysis" series of Dialogue on Globalization (formerly “Occasional Papers” series) offers in-depth analyses on evolving trends and key questions of global governance. The "Perspective" series (formerly “Briefing papers” series) provide policymakers, journalists and the general public with concise and competent background commentaries on issues of topical interest.

 A Shot in the Arm for Climate Finance?
Frank Schroeder
While a large number of mechanisms for financing climate change mitigation and
adaptation have started to develop at the global level, the total level of financial
resources falls far short of what is actually needed: a system for monitoring, reporting
and verifying climate finance flows will be important to enhance the credibility
of climate funds. Industrial nations have pledged assistance in fast start financing and committed to
the goal of mobilising jointly 100 billion US dollars a year by 2020. The report of
the UN Secretary-General’s High-level Advisory Group sends a very strong signal that scaling-up climate financing is challenging but feasible. Timely mobilisation of resources could help generate progress in the current climate negotiations.

Thinking Ahead - Development Models and Indicators of Well-being Beyond the MDGs
Jens Martens
An alliance of civil society groups, networks and foundations,
including Third World Network, Social Watch, DAWN, the
Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, Global Policy Forum, terre des hommes, and
the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation, recently launched the Civil Society Reflection Group on Global Development Perspectives.
The group consists of about 15 leading civil society activists, experts and academics from around the globe. The group will assess conventional and alternative models of development and well-being, reconsider development goals and indicators, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), draw conclusions for future development strategies and provide specific policy recommendations for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development 2012.
The time between the Summits 2010 and 2012 provides a unique window of opportunity to reconsider the current development paradigm and to develop strategies towards a holistic, rights-based approach of global development and well-being.
As a first input to the debate within the Reflection Group and beyond, and after identifying a number of deficits and weaknesses in the MDG approach and discussing three options for the future of the MDGs, Martens looks at different projects of "alternative" models and measure of well-being and development. It finally provides an outlook on a way forward towards the definition of a new set of global development goals.
