Public Good: Building a winning narrative to bring the world together

Jonathan Glennie & Ben Phillips

Summary.

Three dominant but harmful stories - entropy, private takeover and defensive insularity - narrow horizons, weaken public purpose and fuel division. This report answers them with a story anchored in mutual interest, proven effectiveness and political winnability.

Drawn from global consultations and funded by CECG, it has been taken up by ODI Global, WWF, BOND and ACET.
