The Global Strategy Lab brings cutting-edge science and scholarship to bear on how global institutions, instruments and initiatives are designed to better address the most pressing global challenges. Directed by Steven J. Hoffman and based in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law, the Lab focuses on three priorities:\\• Generating evidence about different global strategies including when, how and why they can be used to tackle transnational health threats and social inequalities\• Developing new analytic, empirical and big data methods for evaluating complex global strategies and using them to draw new insights about how to implement global agreements, goals and policies\• Translating research into evidence-based collective action by working with governments, civil society organizations and international agencies in developing their global strategies and training the next generation of strategic thinkers and leaders in global governance, law and politics\\The creation of a Global Strategy Lab was in response to an increasingly interdependent world where health and well-being are intrinsically shaped by circumstances, decisions and events occurring in far-away places and mysterious spaces. Pandemics spread between countries within hours, medicines are manufactured by varying standards, food supply lines are globally integrated, and climate change continues unabated. The risks and potential rewards of globalization have never been greater, but managing these risks and reaping these rewards depends on achieving global collective action among the world's governments, civil society organizations, businesses and international agencies.
