"Building Alternative Coalitions for Global Governance"
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER VIA ZOOM
This call for papers invites contributions to an online conference (17 June 2026) and subsequent open-access eBook with Global Policy on "Building Alternative Coalitions for Global Governance." Responding to new wars, growing geopolitical fragmentation and the weakening of the liberal international order, the conference seeks proposals exploring how new or reconfigured coalitions can address major global challenges.
Submissions should engage with one of five main thematic areas:
(1) Climate change governance, including multi-level and transnational coalitions;
(2) Global poverty reduction and the future of SDG coordination amid conflict and shrinking development budgets;
(3) The Arctic and outer space as emerging domains of security, cooperation, and rivalry;
(4) South–South cooperation and the role of emerging powers and alternative institutions;
(5) The creation of a "coalition of the willing" in trade to uphold predictable rules in the face of renewed protectionism.
Papers may take the form of policy-oriented insights or original research and should contribute to rethinking global governance in an increasingly multipolar and contested world.
The full call for papers is available here:
Paper submission deadline: 20 March 2026

Main features
Ambitious goal
Under the initiative of Prof. María C. Latorre (Facultad de Estudios Estadísticos, Universidad Complutense de Madrid) and Prof. Jan Wouters (Faculty of Law, KU Leuven), researchers from Una Europa universities have formed the "Una Europa Global Governance Research Group". We want to offer relevant advice to policymakers grounded in cutting-edge research, while pedagogical collaborations are also envisaged.
Interdisciplinary character
One of the richness of the group is its interdisciplinary approach. The Founding Members of the Una Europa Global Governance Research Group come from different lines of research, such as, computational methods, law, statistics, economics and international relationships, among others. We are open to collaborate with researchers from universities from the Una Europa Alliance working in these and other close lines of research.
Strong team
We already have
a strong, committed and interdisciplinary initial team of founding
members. It is strong because it is composed of Senior Academics from each
of the eight UNA Europa Universities and alsoincludes an additional partner, which is Real
Colegio Complutense at Harvard University.
Collaboration with other policymakers
The founding members of the Una Europa Global Governance Research Group have experience in developing applied research, which is relevant for policymakers. We want to go deeper into these relations and, to that aim, we have promoted a series of seminars called "Dialogues between policymakers and Academia".
We already have a strong, committed and interdisciplinary initial team of founding members. It is strong because it is composed of Senior Academics from each of the eight UNA Europa Universities and also includes an additional partner, which is Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard University.
