Democracy and Citizenship

This thematic area addresses challenges for, and innovations around, democracy and citizenship in the face of contemporary global transformations. Affiliated researchers explore these questions at different scales (local, national, regional, global) and from a variety of (inter-)disciplinary perspectives, including economics, international relations, media and communications, philosophy, political science, and psychology.

GTGC also collaborates closely on questions related to Democracy and Citizenship with EUINACTION ''Willingness and Capacity for EU Policy Action in Turbulant Times: Conflicts, Positions and Outcomes''.

Democracy and Citizenship thematic area is co-convened by Anastasia Ershova, Aleksandra Khokhlova, and Jan Aart Scholte.
