Our workshop is funded through the Center on Global Transformation (CGT), based at UC San Diego's School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). CGT is designed to drive inquiry on two major transformations of the 21st century: how structures of the global economy are changing; and how new technology and analytic methods open the way to improve how we govern ourselves.
