Join our Standing Group on International Relations for an enriching Summer School exploring the intricate interplay between domestic politics and global governance. Get valuable insights, receive feedback on your research, and enjoy keynotes from policymakers bridging theory with real-world global politics.
Domestic politics play a significant role in shaping global governance. The interests of societal groups, government institutions, and party politics all affect how countries participate in global governance institutions and shape their policy-making processes and substantive outcomes.
The Summer School of our Standing Group on International Relations has been supporting the careers of emerging academics for several years. It brings together a motivated group of students around contemporary issues in international relations.
The forthcoming edition of the event will explore how domestic politics affect global governance across four areas: interests, institutions, information and identity.
How do the interests of different societal groups, such as businesses, labour unions, and environmental groups, shape government preferences on global governance issues?
How do the institutions of government, such as the electoral system, the party system, and the bureaucracy, influence how countries participate in global governance?
How does the availability of information about global governance issues affect government decision-making?
How does national identity influence how countries view their role in global governance?
The Summer School will bring together experts from different disciplines, including political science, international relations, and law, who will introduce various aspects of the topic and share their own experiences as world-leading scholars. You will have the opportunity to present and discuss your research and receive feedback from the instructors and peers.
Breaking new ground, this edition of the Summer School will also feature keynotes from policymakers, grounding the research into the realities of day-to-day global politics. To enhance the overall experience, a rich social programme has been curated, fostering a sense of community among like-minded scholars.
Join us for five enriching days that will deepen your understanding of global governance – submit your application by 16 April 2024!
