Transnational configurations, conflict and governance

This research programme has two interlinked core research areas related to the transnationalisation of politics and societies: conflict and institutional transformation. Both lines question established notions of identities, categorizations and boundaries defined by classical political science concepts and delve into the transformations of institutions, representation, legitimacy, and citizenship traditionally associated with a state-centric paradigm.

Political Economy and Transnational Governance (PETGOV)

Transnational integration of political and economic transactions are giving rise to far-reaching transformations of governance both within and beyond the nation-state. This Research Programme brings together political scientists whose research agenaas are rooted in the fields of political economy, public policy, and international relations, but who share an abiding interest in the drivers, dynamics, and consequences of these epochal developments in political and economic life.

Challenges to democratic representation

What are necessary and sufficient conditions under which democratic regimes can maintain stability and safeguard basic principles of democratic accountability, representation and legitimacy. In this research program, we address this classic theme from the perspective of normative democratic theory and by way of empirical inquiry. Recognizing that democracy is also a historically contingent politically practice, issues of change over time will be embedded in our analytic approaches as well.
