The Catalonia Global Institute is a center of analysis of international affairs. It has the objective of providing the Catalan society with independent critical thinking in global politics. Our activities are rooted in the idea that the international system is governed primarily by states. We believe that nations are free to determine their national interests and that Catalonia ought to define its own according to its idiosyncrasy, values and aspirations.
The CGI is a project born between Catalonia and Switzerland. We are a group of people with diverse ideological standpoints. Nonetheless we all share an understanding of the importance of a realist approach in international relations. We believe the Catalan society and its institutions will be better equipped to project their interests in the global sphere if they adopt a renewed vision of Catalonia’s position in the world.
