The New Order of Planetary Governance - A Conversation with Nils Gilman

In our first episode of Mapping the Planetary, together with our hosts Hagen Schulz-Forberg and James Quilligan, we sit down with Nils Gilman, Vice President of Programs at the Berggruen Institute, and discuss his ideas on a planetary approach to governance.

Gilman distinguishes the concept of the planetary from the global, framing it as a necessary shift in light of the bio-geo-chemical disruption of today. 

He reflects on the need for new forms of shared sovereignty and suggests that a move beyond anthropocentric frameworks may open a fundamental rethinking of core categories in both political theory and policy practice.
