Who we are<\/h1>\n
\n

The Broker <\/i>is a vibrant knowledge hub of integrated perspectives on globalization and development. We bring together cutting-edge knowledge and expert opinions from researchers, policymakers and practitioners.<\/p>\n

The Broker<\/i> acts as an intermediary between knowledge networks, brokering global development knowledge to inform practitioners and provide new and integrated perspectives on current global policy issues. As such we act as an intermediary between disciplines, sectors, and viewpoints from local to global level. We strive to provide this knowledge to inspire informed decision-making and agenda-setting processes.<\/p>\n

Our vision<\/h1>\n
\n

Global knowledge provides a solid foundation for broad-based foreign policy and social engagement aimed  at achieving just, equal, peaceful and sustainable global development. This means more than development cooperation policy alone but, perhaps even more so, other areas of foreign policy (defence, trade, agriculture,  finance, environment) and the international dimensions of domestic policy (Europe, justice and migration,  transport, monetary policy, etc.).<\/p>\n

Global economic and political relations are changing rapidly with the emergence of new economies, technological innovations and transnational economic and cultural ties. That makes it necessary to scale up and cooperate more within Europe, and to develop a genuinely transnational, global perspective. The growing complexity and interdependence of local, national, international and transnational processes call for an interdisciplinary approach. That is why brokering knowledge and bridging gaps between economic and social sectors and scientific disciplines has great added value.<\/p>\n

The Broker<\/i> believes in context-relevant and needs-based approaches. As a thinknet we wish to foster an active dialogue between the academic, policy-making and practitioner communities and grow The Broker<\/i> into a vibrant knowledge hub of integrated perspectives on current global policy issues.<\/p>\n

What we do<\/h1>\n
\n

Acting as an intermediary between those different networks of academics, policy-makers and practitioners, The Broker aims to achieve a broader and more comprehensive understanding and thus better informed policies. We wish to provide a knowledge hub to help policy-makers, activists and NGOs determine their strategies. We do this by:<\/p>\n
