Politics, Governance, and Citizenship
The research theme of politics, governance, and citizenship focuses on the dynamics of power and authority in society. The research in this area examines a wide range of topics, including the historical and contemporary forms of political power and governance; a comparative analysis of political systems in terms of the social, economic, and cultural contexts in which political institutions operate; the role of civil society in shaping political outcomes and promoting a more inclusive and democratic form of governance. This research theme is based on the recognition that both political institutions and civil society play a critical role in everyday life. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for addressing issues of inequality, injustice, social conflict, and political instability.
