Organizatorzy są szczególnie zainteresowani następującymi tematami:

• the democratic qualities and shortcomings of decision-making process in international organizations concerned with the governance of global public goods/commons (UNESCO, UNDP, WHO, WTO, IMF, etc.)
• epistemic networks behind the promotion of the concepts of global public goods and global commons in policy discourse
• the definition of global commons, global public goods and global democracy in international law
• the role of international law in fostering a democratic governance of global commons and global public goods
• political economy of global public goods and global commons, with an emphasis on their (re)distributive function
• comparative study of the legal and political underpinnings of the policy discourses relating to global public goods and global commons 
• an application to specific global commons and global public goods is very much encouraged; examples of commons and global public goods (for case studies) include inter alia natural resources commons (oceans, forests, biodiversity), knowledge commons, creative commons, public health, economic and financial security and stability, peace, protection of human rights, stable climate, food security and an international fair trading system.
