Area of expertise
How states, organisations and societies cooperate and compete in a changing international order.
The dynamics of international relations shape many of the issues we study, from development cooperation to migration. We examine shifts in power relations, institutions, and norms, and their implications at regional and global levels.
We approach international relations from a global perspective, exploring how political, economic, and security developments influence cooperation between states and societies. Our research focuses on the role of multilateral organisations, the dynamics of regional relations, and the capacity of international actors to address shared challenges, from conflict and inequality to climate change and human mobility.
We connect academic research in international relations with the practical needs of professionals working in diplomacy, public institutions, and international organisations.
