Governing Global Challenges

Governing Global Challenges is a research group that explores the governance of global challenges – from migration and food security to pandemics and climate change – as a matter of policy coordination between local, national and international, public and private actors.

Knowledge, politics and organization

The research groups' aim is to study and explain how the relations between knowledge and politics shape organizations, community interests and political behavior. We study these connections at various levels and in interactions from the local to the global.
