Governance
Our research encompasses discipline-specific as well as multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches to studying the production of order and disorder within societies and states (at the subnational level), by the state (at the national level), between states (at the international level), and without and beyond the state (examining the myriad of non-state actors).
We tackle issues of institutionalisation of authority and related shifts, such as the power of nation-states as a result of pressures from competing sources of authority at local, regional, intergovernmental, transnational and global levels of governance, or from private and civil spheres of authority. Research also engages with notions and concepts of power, authority, trust, interdependence, networks, institutions and regulations.
