1 Styrkeområdet Globalisering Gothenburg Centre of Globalization and Development Arne Bigsten

2 Ambitionerna Producera forskning av hög kvalitet om globalisering och utveckling i Syd och om policy-årgärder. Fokus på hur externa interventioner (bistånd m.m.) påverkar samhällsstyrning och utveckling. Generera mer forskningsresurser för området Samverkan Skapa dialog mellan discipliner genom gemensamma seminarier och gemensamma projekt.

5 Forskningen Fyra huvudspår ekonomisk utveckling, social utveckling (hälsa), säkerhet och miljö. Ungefär 300 publikationer listade under GCGD på GUP. (Men svårt att säga vad som hänt utan GCGD) Men området har stärkts vid GU. VRs forskningsöversikt pekar på GU som ett ledande universitet i Sverige inom utvecklingsforskning.

10 Aktiviteter Delat ut planeringsanslag och mindre forskningsanslag genererat samarbeten och externa anslag (t.ex. Maria Baaz-Ola Ohlsson, Per Knutsson, Malin Hasselskog, Anja Karlsson Franck). Organiserat konferenser och workshops (som genererat ett antal böcker och artiklar) Seminarier Gästforskare Stödjer The Land Rights Research Initiative (LARRI)

11 Slutsatser Bra rekryteringar Dragit in anslag Ökat samverkan över institutionsgränserna Genererat mera forskning på området Genomslag i media och i policy-världen Viss corefunding krävs för att GCGD skall kunna leva vidare. Vi misslyckades med att få UGOT Challenges pengar. Funderar över framtiden
