Transnational Politics
Research department III studies the transnational dimension of conflict and peace, focusing on activities of transnational actors and how transnational phenomena (e.g. migration flows, environmental destruction and terrorism) impact peace and security. Research deals with the involvement of NGOs, transnational corporations and violent non-state actors in transnational and international governance structures. Furthermore, issues regarding transnational threats and social conflicts such as migration, environmental crises, radicalization and terrorism are analyzed. The department’s work is divided into three main areas: (1) non-state regulatory policy, (2) transnational dissidence and (3) social cohesion.
Additionally, the Research Group “Radicalization” is organized at the research department III which conducts interdisciplinary and cross-departmental research on political and religious radicalization processes, as well as the Research Group "Terrorism".
