DIIS conducts research in changes generated by human migration and other forms of mobility. We explore social and societal cohesion, political interventions and human experiences of mobility and immobility at both the global and local level.
The research unit does research into the changes in warfare and the perceptions of transnational threats impacting contemporary international relations. This also involves how local, national and global actors understand security, order and conflict.
The research unit examines the interaction between global development and governance. This includes what changes are required across social, economic and environmental domains in order to create sustainable development.
