Global Summitry: A world of order and disorder?
Global Summitry
The world’s nations have participated in major
summits at important points throughout
history – whether to discuss war and peace or
various aspects of international cooperation and
development.
In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries such summits have
become increasingly global in scope, and the United Nations
Organization has played a leading role in cultivating the “global
summitry.” This has shaped our collective values about everything
from sustainable development, the status of women, and
human rights, to population growth, urbanization, the internet,
and climate change. Global Summits have become the hub of
global discussion for not only governments, but for civil society,
business, academia, and the media.
Protocols have emerged that guide pre-summit, mid-summit,
and post-summit decision-making, implementation and
verification processes. But given the ever-expanding list of
global policy problems and the failure of the world’s nations to
make genuine progress with some of the most problematic of
them, is the current pattern of Global Summitry sufficient? Is the
accountability of global policy networks and global commitments
sufficiently strong? Does effective 21st century global governance
require more?
Listen to a range of speakers familiar with Global Summits talk
about their experiences to date and their perspectives
on potential improvements for future practices.

Chair: Joy Dunsheath
Nuclear Weapons
Luck has helped forestall the use of nuclear
weapons in conflict since 1945. And to
quote distinguished Lawrence Freedman,
nuclear deterrence may continue to work
until it doesn’t. Deeply worrying are official
beliefs among States possessing nuclear
weapons that the fortunes of chance, allied
to doctrines of credible threat to rain down
comprehensive destruction, will continue to
favour a tenous peace.
2018 National Conference of UNA NZ
Time Session Speakers
Yet even at the height of the Cold War,
those beliefs were being tempered by
initiatives designed to reduce risk through
policies of arms control. That impetus has
now not just been blunted but placed in
reverse.
The counter narrative of nuclear weapons
prohibition, stigmatising these devices, is
gradually taking hold. It is epitomised by
the nuclear weapons prohibition treaty. This
will prove significant but far more will be
required to realise its aims and objectives.
They will be outlined and critically
examined in this tribute lecture given in
memory of Laurie Salas.

groups in society, the goals contain nothing
which pertain to people with diverse sexual
orientation or gender identity (‘queer’
herein). A report from the Institute of
Development Studies by Elizabeth Mills
suggests that this omission further
marginalises queer populations and
therefore also limits the aspirations of the
SDGs. To achieve the SDGs in an Aotearoa
context, we therefore need to consider the
experiences of queer communities within
our interpretations of the SDGs. This
seminar will focus on research by UNA NZ
intern and recent Victoria University of
Wellington graduate, Stella Ivory, which
examines how this could be better
achieved. The seminar will also include
perspectives from other individuals who are
working to prioritise the needs of queer
New Zealanders.

concerns or managing dissents in the Special Officer Security Council.
United Nations?
Chair: Peter Nichols.
From gathering of major economic powers
for addressing environmental security issues
to regional and economic forums, global
summits are ideally the bases for
communicating human security issues with
states and with the United Nations. This
presentation argues that while discussions
on empowering individuals, gender
equality and equal distribution of power
and wealth are often themes in these
summits, their outcomes have not been
considered in any global decisions about
peace or security at the UN level. On the
contrary, the global centres of decision
making for development and conflict
remain state-centric and exclusive to
political elites. Rather than empowering
individuals, these summits have become
political hubs for managing dissents and
transforming the notion of security into a
market commodity to maintain the
exclusivity of the state-centric systems in
the United Nations. By using examples
from the existing political debates on
nuclear, regional security and migration,
this presentation demonstrates why global
summits further widens the gap between
the UN’s state-centric approach to security
and the people-centric approaches of
global summits.
