A better world…
I nternational Panel on Social Progress will carry out a long-term project by assembling over 200 prominent academicians and writers from five continents. The panel is planning on publishing a report in 2017, on how the world can be turned into a better place in 21st century. Report will be comprised of broad chapter topics. Report topics will be distributed in between academicians and there will also be fieldwork. The ways of how the decision making powers, citizens, non-governmental organizations and movements can reduce injustice and disagreements on economic, political and social structures will be analyzed. The group is guided by a committee which is run by Amatrya Sen, who happens to be 1998 Nobel Memorial Prize Laureate in Economic Sciences and a Harvard Professor. The panel is sponsored by some academic organizations such as Princeton University and Maison des Sciences de I’Homme. **** The group’s first plenary session took place on last Thursday and Friday in Bilgi U
