From pandemic management to climate change, the nation-state is ill-equipped to manage the underlying causes of planetary-scale disruptions and the consequences for local communities. This failure of states to govern effectively in turn produces a crisis of legitimacy. Solving these twin crises requires a fundamental reimagining and restructuring of our governing institutions. Children of a Modest Star: Governance for a Planetary Age argues for allocating governance authority to the smallest scale institutions that can effectively manage a challenge, so that local issues are addressed by local institutions and planet-wide issues are addressed by planetary institutions. Drawing on the number of disciplines, the book calls this new governance architecture planetary subsidiarity.

This event is co-sponsored by the Center on Science, Technology, and Public Life, the Berggruen Institute, and the USC Center for International Studies.
