The Center for Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness (CGGC) was established to serve as a nucleus for researchers and educators around the world. The center is a research affiliate of the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) of Duke University.

The research and policy-oriented Center on Globalization, Governance, and Competitiveness at Duke exists to provide a comprehensive framework linking global, national, and local levels of analysis in order to generate new knowledge that will make it possible to harness the potential advantages of globalization. The center hosts projects and scholars and currently houses two related research programs: Global Value Chains and North Carolina and the Global Economy.

CGGC is dedicated to carrying out innovative and interdisciplinary research concerned with globalization, governance, and competitiveness. We are concerned with the societal impacts of related projects and strive to be a resource base for studying these impacts around the world.

The Center for Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness is located on Duke University’s campus. Our office is located in the newly renovated Erwin Mill Building
