*Both concepts of “global public goods” and “global commons” are
increasingly being used, both as powerful rhetorical devices in the policy
discourse of international organizations and the debates of civil society,
and as analytical and normative frameworks in international legal
scholarship, economics and political theory. What difference does it make
to express and frame global challenges according to one concept or the
other? What kind of international cooperation and governance schemes do
these concepts imply? Which democratic qualities and shortcomings in global
decision-making processes do they reveal? Adopting a comparative approach
and an interdisciplinary perspective, this two-day conference, hosting
Prof. Dr. Inge Kaul and Prof. Dr. Pierre Dardot as keynote speakers, aims
to highlight the epistemic networks and legal and political underpinnings
behind each discourse.*

*The present two-dayinternational conference will explore the economic,
legal andpolitical underpinnings, premises and implications of global
public goods and global commons for global governance institutions and
international organizations, especially in relationship with the debate on
their (non)-democratic nature. The conference aims to assess, from
an interdisciplinary perspective, how the respective discourses surrounding
global public goods and global commons diverge in their relation to global
democracy, and in particular, to the advancement of democracy in global
governance and international organizations. The aimis toturn the
proceedings of this conference into a flagship publication*
