2015 PROGRAM
SALZBURG GLOBAL SEMINAR | PROGRAM 2015
Foreword People and Power 2015 is packed with symbolic anniversaries and landmark events. Towering above them is the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, the cornerstone of efforts across the centuries and around the world to enshrine the rule of law and protection of individual rights at the heart of human society. These fundamental principles of freedom and justice underpin the mission of Salzburg Global Seminar, which has worked for nearly seventy years to challenge present and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. They will resonate worldwide with the seventieth anniversary of the United Nations, and for our regional partners as Indonesia celebrates seventy years of independence, Singapore marks fifty years since its creation, and thirty-five states commemorate signing the Helsinki Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Yet on a darker note, man’s persistent inhumanity to man will also be remembered upon the centenary of the Armenian genocide, the seventieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the fortieth of the Cambodian genocide, and the twentieth since the Srebrenica massacres. Salzburg Global was founded by young optimists amidst post-war chaos and destruction. Looking forward, we believe that lessons from the past can and must inspire courage, commitment and vision for a better future. 2015 will be a test year for the international community, regional organizations and nation states if negotiations are to succeed for new Sustainable Development Goals and a binding agreement on climate change. Many Fellows in our Salzburg Global Network spanning 160 countries, and many of our partner institutions across the world, are playing pivotal roles to this end. Across sectors and scales, we are witnessing radical shake-ups in the relationships between individuals, systems and states. Salzburg Global’s programs on education and social investment, neuroscience, global finance, health and big data, amongst other topics, are designed to help key institutions and individuals understand these shifts, see the art of the possible and accelerate change.

SALZBURG GLOBAL SEMINAR | PROGRAM 2015
Salzburg Global Program Framework Salzburg Global’s Program is designed around three cross-cutting clusters that reflect the values underpinning everything we do. We use these clusters –
IMAGINATION SUSTAINABILITY JUSTICE – to support triple-lens thinking to shift societies and lay the foundations for global citizenship. From the start, Salzburg Global Seminar has broken down barriers separating people and ideas. Today, we span the world’s regions and we challenge countries at all stages of development and institutions across all sectors to rethink their relationships and identify shared interests and goals. Imagination lies at the heart of human development, opportunity and capacity for resilience, and will inspire the global transition to a knowledge economy. Through our Imagination cluster programs, we ask how societies can renew and reconfigure their education, culture and media practices, and foster science and entrepreneurship to create inclusive, knowledge-based communities of the future. The most basic necessity in any society is human safety and wellbeing. Through our Sustainability cluster programs, together with our partners, we aim to improve life chances for present and future generations in a holistic way, connecting health, environment, jobs and finance. We ask how societies can move beyond short-termism and target research, investment and policies to promote equity and prosperity within planetary boundaries. As power is dispersed in a multipolar world, changes in allegiance and identity are triggering radical shifts in relationships between individuals and institutions. Through our Justice cluster programs, we examine how societies can reframe responsibilities, rights and cooperation between citizens, business, governments and regions to foster conditions for peace and prosperity. The Salzburg Academies – covering Global Citizenship, Media and Global Change, and the Future of International Law – prepare outstanding young people for lives of innovation and reinvention with the skills to drive change.

years, it makes sense to invest in our youngest citizens to help them become future net contributors to society. Such investments are estimated to generate an 18 percent annual rate of return due to cost-savings in remedial education and social services and an increased tax base. Lack of quality ECDE reflects and contributes to rising inequality. Those who most need a fair start – the poor, immigrants and racial/ethnic minorities – are often at the periphery of social and political power and can seldom afford or garner sufficient support for quality programs. Under-investing in ECDE also has a disproportionate effect on women, as mothers, unpaid caregivers and underpaid early-childhood educators. Moreover, neglecting ECDE has costly symptoms that only appear years later, making them easy to ignore in short-term policymaking. Families cannot bridge this gap on their own, especially as more mothers re-enter the workforce out of necessity or choice. In collaboration with Educational Testing Service, Salzburg Global Seminar is implementing a multi-year intervention to catalyze and leverage the early childhood research and policy agenda at domestic and international levels, particularly for disadvantaged populations.

networks. Recent studies on high youth populations and political violence show a
www.SalzburgGlobal.org/
statistical relationship between the two. However, there are conflicting opinions on
go/549
the relative impact of other factors, including the urban/rural distribution of youth populations, access to employment and education, and the scale of political discontent. As the percentage of under-25s in developing countries rises above 50% and urbanization accelerates, there will be interconnected problems of high youth populations in urban areas without access to jobs, livelihoods and pathways to economic security. Without holistic strategies, these will have major implications for social cohesion and broader security issues, particularly in failing social systems. Youth in stressed contexts are torn between being “the future” (with no clear pathway to get there) and being kept at arms’ length (as potential instigators of civil discord). Too often, policy makers give lip service to youth support but focus their efforts on cracking down on delinquency, protests, and crime. Whilst public safety demands an effective response to crime and disorder, 21st century strategies need to get beyond fragmented and reactive interventions to fully leverage next-generation human and social capital. Looking forward, policy makers must develop a more sophisticated understanding of their disparate youth populations in order to design and implement preemptive and responsive systems to nurture youth potential in constructive ways. In partnership with the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, Salzburg Global Seminar is convening a strategic program to address the interconnected problems and opportunities of burgeoning youth populations and marginalized youth in key regions around the world.

The Salzburg Global LGBT Forum is therefore working to advance civil dialogue where these challenges can be negotiated, where peaceful and constructive voices can meaningfully contribute to the global discourse on LGBT rights, and where an active network of global LGBT and human rights actors can work together to negotiate these interconnected global challenges and advance the free and equal rights of all LGBT people. In 2015 the Salzburg Global LGBT Forum will focus on critical issues of social cohesion, including the way in which issues of social justice and fundamental freedoms are addressed in different contexts for LGBT communities. At a time when the global LGBT movement and discourse is facing significant and interconnected challenges, establishing, protecting and sustaining socially cohesive societies requires targeted investments to support democratic institutions, families and communities (including alternative families), social justice and human rights activists, education and employment, housing, and protection from hate crimes and bullying. The 2015 Global LGBT Forum will focus on social cohesion as a central issue for LGBT communities across the world, whether in societies still fighting for equal treatment under family policy or those struggling against exclusion and marginalization. The Forum will maintain its open and holistic framing, ensuring broad background and perspectives as well as participation of artists; critical thinkers; and spiritual leaders.
*LGBT: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. We are using this term as it is currently widely used in
human rights conversations on sexual orientation and gender identity in many parts of the world, but we would not wish it to be read as exclusive of other cultural concepts, contemporary or historical, to express sexuality and gender, intersex and gender-nonconforming identities.

As a result, understanding the new dynamics of financial intermediation, and how they influence global markets, will be critical for future resilience, credit flows and the sustainability of the financial services industry. From a technological point of view, new and potentially disruptive innovations, cyber-security risks, privacy concerns about data protection and data theft, and new types of financial crime, present difficult challenges for future regulatory action in an interconnected and borderless financial services marketplace. Assessing the potential impact of these trends on market structure, secondary market trading, and raising funds in the capital markets, as well as the scale of investments required by banks to keep pace with new technologies and the constraints the latter will place on traditional intermediaries, are matters of increasingly strategic concern.

To support these developments, medical records can chart an individual’s course through health and illness. In the future, could a transformation of the traditional record become an integral part of the patient-clinician relationship? Could transformed, fully transparent records become central to the evolution of a true culture of health? Full transparency may provide a foundation for the future patient-clinician relationship, but how may the practice evolve? Will patients primarily read their records, or will they also contribute to them? How and with whom will they share them? Will open records increase patient safety? What will they contribute to informal, family caregivers as they work to assist family members and loved ones increasingly dependent on their care? Will they help educate students in the health professions? And above all, can a foundation of open communication based on full transparency help create affordable, high-value, easy to access, and sustainable healthcare delivery networks – a truly global challenge? This session will work to envision a culture of health centered on health records that assist in moving patientclinician relationships beyond current boundaries.

to fostering creative innovation and entrepreneurship worldwide with the intention of building a more vibrant and resilient arts sector and of advancing sustainable economic development and positive social change agendas worldwide. Each annual YCI cohort will be comprised of ten expert facilitators and 50 young cultural innovators between the ages of 25 and 35 from around the world. The group will be balanced in terms of gender, genre, and geographic representation. Most of the participants will come from several “culture hubs” in various cities around the world that form the core of the YCI multi-year project, including Baltimore, Rotterdam, Phnom Penh, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, and Salzburg. Participants are selected through a highly competitive application and nomination process, to ensure outstanding quality and diversity of professional knowledge and experience within the Forum. Forum components include a one-week annual program in Salzburg combining theory and praxis, with capacity-building sessions focusing on: intra and entrepreneurship, exposure to the latest digital resources, new business models, risktaking and innovation, psychology of leadership and emotional intelligence, and crosscultural communication and negotiating skills. Outstanding participants from each year are invited back as facilitators and/ or resource specialists at future sessions to assure continuity, communication and exchange of best practice across the multi-year series. The Forum also assists the YCIs in creating “culture hubs” in target cities to share the learning, foster a multiplier effect, and magnify the impact of the YCI network created in Salzburg. The “culture hubs” will convene mini-sessions, workshops and public events and become a local resource for emerging cultural innovators.

Aging societies present financial, societal and personal challenges – but also great potential to prototype technical and social innovation and expand new markets, employment possibilities and knowledge exchange between regions. Following the UN’s 2014 appointment of an Independent Expert on the Enjoyment of all Human Rights by Older Persons, social systems will need not only to be economically sustainable but also to uphold elders’ wellbeing and dignity. This calls for fresh thinking about personal welfare and responsibility, community infrastructure, and the role of states as providers. At the macro-level, governments will have to implement changes to economic, workforce, and fiscal infrastructure to ensure the long-term affordability and sustainability of pension systems. At the micro level, we must understand how individuals and their communities will continue to manage aging and its effect on long-term cohesive societies. How countries value and manage this macro-micro continuum and build affordable social protection into the market economy model will be a critical part of 21st century economic planning for developing, emerging, and developed countries alike. Salzburg Global Seminar’s multi-year series will catalyze a holistic approach to aging societies. Driven by research, facts and frontline realities, it advances new thinking and action for elder care support within public systems and competitive markets. It aims to generate an international exchange on innovative policies and mechanisms to make welfare systems more adaptive, efficient, and effective in meeting regional and national productivity and growth priorities.

Guided by lawyers from some of the top international law firms in the US, the Salzburg Cutler Law Fellows also receive advice on how to determine career goals, manage career trajectories, identify the jobs beyond the first horizon of job seeking post-law school, and how to expand and utilize professional networks. In addition to these high-level workshops, students receive feedback on their own original research and writing on topics concerning the development of both public and private international law. Salzburg Cutler Fellows also automatically become members of the Salzburg Global Fellowship and its international network. The two-day seminar will be held in Washington, DC and allow participants to present their own research and scholarship on leading edge topics, refine their concepts based on criticism received from international experts, explore career options and build global networks with peers and practitioners alike. Faculty and discussants are drawn from the ten partner law schools, firms with leading international practice groups, domestic and international courts, and lawyers serving in public service roles. Selected Cutler Fellows also receive scholarships to attend Salzburg seminars on topics germane to their interests.

• Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society; • Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns; • Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity’s future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and • Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world. The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States’ influence around the world. Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.

and prosperity but also for ensuring the foundation and continuance of civil society. As

such, they are gateways to a future that is in our own hands. Globalization poses new educational challenges. Higher education institutions are obliged by their missions to prepare people for life in the 21st century - people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. This session will convene professors, administrators, and staff from higher education institutions seeking to place global education at the core of student learning. They will explore factors that support or restrain comprehensive approaches to global education at colleges and universities. Key questions to be addressed include: • What role do colleges and universities have in preparing their students as leaders in the 21st century? • What knowledge, skills, and values do students need to be active global citizens? • What are the most effective ways of teaching and learning for global citizenship? • How can those committed to global education learn from and support one another? As they address these questions, participants will develop strategies and action plans for projects to implement at their respective colleges and universities. The projects are intended to strengthen existing institutional activities or to develop new and innovative approaches to education for global citizenship.

The Academy’s objective is to lead the creation of media action plans, multimedia stories, and comparative research, and to become a leading hub for global media education and action in the 21st Century. The content developed over the past six years has led to the publication of News Literacy: Global Perspectives for the Newsroom and the Classroom by Academy Director, Dr. Paul Mihailidis, and Media Communities: Mediated Communities: Civic Voices, Empowerment, and Media Literacy in the Digital Era by Academy faculty member Dr. Moses Shumow. The Academy’s network works across international teams and across disciplines to explore key emerging concerns for civic society today. Key questions to be address by participants include: • How do news media affect our understanding of identity, culture, politics, and citizenship? • How can we use media to better cover global problems and better report on possible solutions? • How can media literacy make students more engaged and active participants in local and global communities, across cultures, across borders, and across divides? Each year, participants build web-based and downloadable media action plans on how media cover issues of critical global importance. Past topics have included human rights, terrorism, climate change, sustainability, youth employment, Civic Voice and Resistance. In 2015 students will identify emerging challenges to civic rights and justice in their respective communities and analyze how digital culture and media supporting social progress in a more globally connected world. This work will emerge in the form of case studies of community change, and instances where civic activism helped bring forth the marginalized and oppressed voices around the world. This year, the Academy will be working Media for Change and the Engagement Lab.
