Department of Politics and Public Administration

Team Global Inequalities

Numerous interrelated societal inequalities, either between or within states, shape International Politics. While political and socio-economic inequalities influence how states interact with each other, international cooperation such as trade, foreign direct investment, and development aid may mitigate or reinforce them. Our research group focuses on examining the underlying causal mechanisms with a special interest in the role of climate change in these processes.
