CIPA Director Kristi Govella spoke at an event organized by The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) about her forthcoming new edited volume “Governing the Global Commons: Challenges and Opportunities for US-Japan Cooperation.” The global commons – areas beyond the sovereign jurisdiction of any single state – have grown increasingly crowded and contested in recent decades due to changes in the political, economic, and security environment. The audience joined GMF to discuss challenges to governance in the maritime, outer space, and cyberspace domains and opportunities for the United States, Japan, and other countries to cooperate to strengthen their rules and norms with John Bradford (S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies), Kristi Govella (University of Hawaii at Manoa), Saadia Pekkanen (University of Washington), Motohiro Tsuchiya (Keio University), and Tobias Harris (GMF).
