It summarizes four seminar sessions plus a luncheon speech and a concluding roundtable, covering trends from local to transnational influence, climate and environmental activism case studies, security-related mobilization, and human-rights protection strategies. It also examines NGO legitimacy and accountability, including risks of cooptation, and assesses policy contributions and limits across a multipolar world.","The Role of Civil Society in Global Governance  \nReport on the joint seminar organised by the EUISS, the European Commission / DG Research, and  \nUNU-CRIS (Brussels, 1 October 2010)  \nRaffaele Marchetti, LUISS University, Rome  \nThis report derives from the joint seminar on \"Civil Society’s Role in Global Governance\", which was held in Brussels on 1 October 2010 and organised by the EUISS, the European Commission/DG Research, and UNU-CRIS. It intends to provide an outline of the material presented and the debates that followed, and also contains a number of personal reflections on the topic. As a consequence, it should not be taken as comprehensively reflecting the various participants’ views, ultimate responsibility for the content lying with the author.  \nThe seminar was structured in four sessions, one luncheon speech, and a concluding roundtable.  \nAfter an opening speech by J-M. Baer, session 1 was devoted to “Recent trends in global governance: The global impact of civil society, from local and national to transnational”. This session addressed a number of overall issues regarding the activity of civil society organization atthe national and international level. Civil society participation on global governance institutions was discussed and its influence thereby unfolded, together with a specific examination of how the conceptualization of civil society is context-dependent (chair: L. van Langenhove; presenters: J.A. Scholte, M. Westlake, and D. Zhenglai) .  \nSession 2 was devoted to \"Case Study: climate change negotiations after Copenhagen. States, civil society and multilateral institutions: the need for a new 'equation'?\" . In this session, a discussion was developed on the specific case of environmental activism. The recent mobilization for the Copenhagen meeting was analysed in order to detect its impact, but also its limits. The case of a transnational environmental network helped in understanding the internal dynamics of crossborder activism. Finally, the specific case of the ecological debt was taken into consideration as an instance of a dynamic of norm change in progress at the international level (chair: S. Oberthür;  \npresenters: T.Burke, M. Duwe, and J. Martinez Alier) .  \nThe luncheon speech was on \"Civil Society and Security Politics: From Landmines to Global Zero Campaigns\" . During this session, the specific domain of activist mobilization on security issues was analysed. The case served to highlight a number of key conditions for a successful transnational mobilization, but also to prove that civil society initiatives spread much beyond the traditional fields of development, human rights, or trade (moderator: J.P. Zanders; presenter: K. Krause) .  \nSession 3 was devoted to \"Case Study: civil society and human rights protection in relation to global issues\" . In this session, a specific attention was devoted on how human rights are promoted at the national, regional, and international level. Different strategies and modes of actions by activists have been analysed, together with the filters or obstacles that international, regional, and  \nnational authorities implicitly or explicitly erect (chair: V. Arnault; presenters: W. Benedek, T. Kumar Bose, C. Ruzza) .  \nSession 4 was devoted to “Civil society’s legitimacy & accountability revisited: new frontiers of NGOs, QUANGOs and non-state actors’ networks\" . This session examined how civil society organizations interact with international and national institutions by impacting on their accountability. While their role within this domain may positively contribute to the legitimacy of such public bodies, the session also warned about the dangers of cooptation and instrumentalization civil society organization may be subject to (chair: J-M. Baer; presenters: M.Pianta, W.W. BurkeWhite, B. Arora) .  \nFinally, the concluding roundtable was devoted to discussing \"Transnational civil society: lessons learned and prospects in a multipolar world.\" In this last session","cbCaidCI0zSSv940","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidCI0zSSv940","pdf",113739,2,1,13,"English","en",105,"# Seminar Structure and Scope\n## Session 1: Recent Trends in Global Governance\n## Session 2: Climate Change Negotiations After Copenhagen\n## Luncheon Speech: Civil Society and Security Politics\n## Session 3: Human Rights Protection and Global Issues\n## Session 4: Legitimacy and Accountability of NGOs and Non-State Networks\n## Concluding Roundtable: Lessons and Prospects\n# Conditions for the Presence of Civil Society in the Global System","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this report on civil society and global governance?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an outline of the seminar material and debates, and includes the author’s personal reflections on the topic.
