We analyze political actors and processes of global governance, ranging from states’ foreign policy to the United Nations, international networks, civil society, and even cities.
We analyze different dimensions of security, in particular, the global governance of crime and non-state violence, but also cybersecurity and other threats.
We analyze the international emergence and diffusion of specific norms, ideas, and regulations, the actors involved in these processes, as well as linear and non-linear effects.
We conduct empirical analyses using qualitative and quantitative data, but we also reflect critically on the proliferation of data and its problematic effects on society, science, and politics.
We also share a substantive interest in global policy fields beyond security, and our work regularly engages with topics such as human rights or education, environmental and economic questions, digitalization, or the development of democracy.
