Globalisation


The research area of globalisation focuses on cross-border interdependencies of social, economic and political processes and actors. What social challenges arise from this? What possibilities are there for shaping it? 

Current research projects investigate global crises and their (trans-)local manifestations, the negotiation of affiliations or conflicts over resources, explore transnational social movements, the connection between migration and development processes or the international governance of migration and labor.
