decision-making level
This is one of those hideous pieces of verbiage that make bureaucratic/political Italian such a bloody nightmare (pardon my French). It means nothing concrete. But in terms of what the idiot who wrote it intended to say, I would say that it means "at a global decision-making level", or "at a level of decision-making" (that is, of power) "that affects the whole planet".
Example sentence:
Condurre la propria politica a livello di istanze decisionali della vita mondiale.
To be politically active at a global decision-making level\\

| agree |
Fabio Barbieri
: Yes, but it is much too concrete for the style of the original, which is verbiage.
