Global Re-Ordering Initiative (GRI)
The Global Re-Ordering Initiative (GRI) is a research and convening platform based at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, University of Toronto, in partnership with scholars at the University of Copenhagen and the National University of Singapore.
GRI asks a simple question with high stakes: what happens when an old international order starts to break down before a new one has taken shape?
The post-World War II institutions, rules, and networks of the liberal international order that structured global politics for decades are still standing, but the conditions that built them are gone.
Student Involvement
Students are encouraged to get involved with the Global Reordering Initiative (GRI) through a range of opportunities to share their work, ideas and perspectives. GRI welcomes pitches from students across disciplines for research, commentary, case studies, videos, project ideas and other forms of work, with selected contributions featured through the initiative.
Students can also engage with peers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), including through GRI’s student-built, designed and maintained website.
To learn more or submit an idea, students can contact GRI Graduate Fellow Alazne Qaisar at contact@globalreorderinginitiative.org.
