GraSPP Policy Challenge 2020: Global Innovative Public Policy Solutions 

Do you have a proposed solution to an important public policy problem? Can you apply your analytical skills to solve a policy issue? Do you want to showcase your idea during an international conference? Do you want to meet creative students from all around the world?

 

GraSPP Policy Challenge (GPC) offers a unique opportunity to students from diverse background to collaborate and seek to improve their teambuilding and policy-making skills. Participants are tasked with responding to pressing real-world policy challenges as a group, and with designing policies and proposals in response to those challenges.

All students from GraSPP/STIG/GSDM are strongly encouraged to apply. Finalist groups will be ultimately invited to present at the GPPN Virtual Conference 2021* hosted by GraSPP in March 2021.

Theme: The Crisis of Globalization as We Know It Starting from the 2008-2009 financial crisis, and especially with the events of and after 2016 (Brexit, election of Donald Trump as US President, heightened US-China tensions), many commentators of international affairs have started to point to a crisis of globalization. The Covid-19 pandemic has massively contributed to this line of argument. International travel has been completely disrupted all over the planet, and globalized production chains are increasingly perceived as too risky. Despite the obvious global nature of the pandemic, the lack of international coordination has been all too evident. Indeed, while a voluminous literature has been accumulating over several decades concerning the necessity to go beyond the nation-state, and the considerable growth of multilateral diplomacy, regional integration, and International Organizations, the nation-state has re-emerged, in a time of acute crisis, as the most important reference framework for policy making, but also for political mobilisation. Borders have been shut everywhere, nationals have been repatriated, new economic policies, stimulus and rescue packages have been devised primarily on a national base. Even in the EU, where regional integration is extremely deep and fully institutionalised, the response to the pandemic was at the beginning almost completely developed at a national level by national governments. Furthermore, as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, it appears that international efforts for sustainable development grounded in multilateralism may have been derailed. With all probability, as announced by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the SDGs cannot be met by 2030, given the severe economic contraction of 2020 and the ensuing social and political problems of the next few years. On the other hand, however, the pandemic has also introduced habits such as telework, which may help the progress on some SDGs. Despite all this, one may argue that the need for an enhanced global governance remains strong, and it has been intensified by Covid-19. We invite students at all GPPN Schools to contribute to a discussion about the state of globalisation in the light of the risks it can harbour and the advantages it can offer. What kind of globalization is still possible? To the benefit of whom? Based on what economic, ethical and political principles? We also would like students to think about concrete proposals for the advancement of regional and international cooperation, for the strengthening of global governance mechanisms and institutions, in specific areas as well as in the more general domain of international relations.   The Challenge We are looking for student presentations on public policy/international relations proposals that demonstrate: A precise identification and analysis of an important and pressing problem; this precise analysis of the problem will need to be clear prior to discussion of any possible solutions A strong use of analytics and empirics and how these can be applied to inform a solution to the public policy problem identified An astute understanding of how policy solutions can be implemented given the interests of the policy actors in the chosen context A clear awareness of whether and when similar solutions have been tried in the past, why they were successful or how they can be amended in order to be successful in the future.

GraSPP will host the Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) virtual conference on 5-7 March, 2021 ().

Students selected to participate will have the opportunity to present their projects to the deans and students of seven of the most prestigious public policy schools.

  *What is the GPPN? Founded in 2005, the Global Public Policy Network is an international group of seven top public policy schools from around the world: School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Columbia University; New York, U.S. Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), London School of Economics and Political Science; London, UK School of Public Affairs, Sciences Po; Paris, France Hertie School; Berlin, Germany Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore (NUS); Singapore Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP), University of Tokyo; Tokyo, Japan Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo ; São Paulo, Brazil  Since its founding, members of the GPPN have organized annual conferences for the students and deans from member schools to meet and discuss pressing issues of global public policy. GPPN members have also established exchange and dual degrees programs, allowing students to benefit from this international network of the most prestigious public affairs schools in the world.

My time at GraSPP has been very inspiring to say the least. I was given the opportunity to study with some of the brightest minds from Asia and beyond a broad range of topics, from implementing new policies in emerging Asia, over understanding the dynamics of international politics in East Asia, to learning about the latest advancements in central banking. Insights were given both in terms of theory and practice by brilliant lecturers who were more often than not in a double role as academics and key policy makers of international organizations and governments. I have greatly benefited from their experience and guidance, and I am convinced that my new knowledge and skills will come in handy in the near future when I enter the working world. A special highlight during my study has been the GraSPP Policy Challenge which allowed me and my team members to come up with a solution to a real-life policy issue and to present our ideas in London (UK) to representatives of leading public policy schools within the Global Public Policy Network. Another milestone event has been the completion of my thesis in which I quantified and discussed the effects of the Bank of Japan’s ETF purchase program on financial market stability. Reflecting on the past year, I have felt very much cared for by the faculty, the administration, and my fellow students. I am happy to have been able to expand my professional network with great personalities, most of whom I can call friends. In short, as a double degree student, I am elated to call myself both an alumnus of the Hertie School and  the University of Tokyo. My time outside of academic life is filled with dear memories as well. While in the beginning the language barrier has been a challenge and the end was much influenced by a pandemic, they could only put a negligible dent in my overall excitement of Tokyo and Japan. I travelled to historic Kyoto, had several food comas in and outside of Tokyo, got to see both the traditional as well as many modern sides of contemporary Japan. My favorite part has been probably exploring Tokyo’s nightlife, especially in Roppongi and Shibuya. Unforgettable were also last summer’s festivals (祭り) where streets were packed with people and the air filled with a mixture of a hundred different flavors coming from a myriad of street vendors and the breathtaking firework spectacles. I am not really sad that this journey will come to end soon, because I promise to revisit Japan with my friends and family!
