Research centres

The Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation is based on wide networks of research affiliations and operates at the cutting edge of international research. Two established research centres, and one research concentration provide the organisational core of the ICG. Through these centres and the work of individual academics, the ICG brings together internationally recognised scholars from diverse areas who provide a range of perspectives on the new meanings of citizenship in an interconnected world.
