The Constructive Powers Initiative (CPI) was launched on the premise that the existing post–World War II global governance architecture has not kept pace with the changing global order. In order to identify common security threats and areas for coordination, the workshop took stock of each state’s most pressing security challenges and explored the relationship between the G20 and constructive powers. Participants then took advantage of the locale to discuss Turkey’s foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa. The workshop concluded by identifying common security challenges and interests among the constructive powers, and identified several options for moving the initiative forward in a way that engages policy makers in participating states.
