With an emphasis on governance solutions for interdependent times, Sarah Ringler reports on what she has observed on efforts to promote minority rights in Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina; David Simpson shares his thoughts on how the global community is continually strengthened through exchange programs; and Oblayon B. Nyemah and Donnell Scott provide first-hand reporting on successful governance reform in Liberia.
