What is IIS?
Interactive Information Services (IIS) was created in 1995 by Marguerite A. Peeters, a U.S. journalist who was monitoring the post-cold war UN conference process then underway.
Interactive Information Services (IIS) reports address the norms and values of the “new global consensus” constructed under the aegis of the UN in the first part of the 1990s, the power shift to a western postmodern intelligentsia then at the rudder of global governance, the implications of global cultural change in the areas of education, health, human rights, environmental policies, politics, semantics and ethics. They analyze various attempts to reform international organizations and the inability of world leaders to provide them with a clear vision and renewed mandate after the end of the cold war.
IIS reports reflect the doctrinaire thrust driving those who hijacked the global “consensus-building” process of the 1990s. The type of radicalism analyzed in some of the reports is now at the end of its course but it has left global governance in a state of incoherence and in a dangerous vacuum.
IIS reports are based on interviews with leading global policy-makers and experts and a detailed analysis of the primary documents of international organizations and of their main partners (full list of IIS reports here).
Taken together, IIS reports constitute a substantial corpus of research of the global cultural political and cultural change that has taken place since the fall of the Berlin wall.
