Helsinki process on global governance

This paper is in response to a request to provide ideas, comments and suggestions on the Helsinki process on Global Governance and how it should proceed. I was involved in preliminary discussions on the Helsinki Process during my visit to Helsinki in May 2002. Subsequently I took part in a workshop on this Process during the WSSD in Johannesbourg in August/September 2002 and I also participated in a planning/brainstorming luncheon meeting on this topic.
The ideas here are based on my (incomplete) knowledge of the Helsinki Process as derived from the meetings and events mentioned above, and on my perspectives on globalisation and global governance. The structure of rest of the paper follows the outline of issues and questions contained in the paper "Core Challenges and Questions to be Addressed."
