Council of Councils : Report Card on International Cooperation 2015-2016Global think tank leaders grade
the world's performance and prospects

June 18, 2016

International cooperation in most of the global issues has shown progress in 2015, but the delay in addressing terrorism and other violent conflicts is affecting multilateral cooperation in other areas.

Global think tank leaders awarded overall global cooperation efforts in 2015 a B grade.

A new Report Card on International Cooperation gives a low grade to the world's performance in 2015 regarding transnational terrorism, internal violent conflict and violent conflict between states.

Although multilateral action on most of the critical transnational threats has shown progress in 2015, "these were offset by dismal performance with respect to terrorism and internal conflict," observes Richard N. Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations.

About the Council of Councils Report Card on International Cooperation 2015-2016


The Council of Councils (CoC) Report Card on International Cooperation evaluates multilateral efforts to address ten of the world's most pressing global challenges, from countering transnational terrorism to advancing global health. No country can confront these issues better on its own. Combating the threats, managing the risks, and exploiting the opportunities presented by globalization require international cooperation.
To help policymakers around the world prioritize among these challenges, the CoC Report Card on International Cooperation surveyed the Council of Councils, a network of twenty-six foreign policy institutes around the world.
Respondents were asked to assess the state of international cooperation on five dimensions:

  • How did the world do, in terms of performance, over the past year in addressing each specific challenge?
  • How did the world do overall on international cooperation in 2015?
  • How should these challenges be ranked, in terms of their relative importance?
  • Which of these problems offers the greatest opportunity for breakthrough in the coming year?
  • What one reform would do the most to improve international cooperation on each issue in 2016?
