We confront the major problems of world order, past, present and future. By applying historical analysis, political science and the experience of practitioners to the world's most pressing geopolitical challenges, we offer a deeper understanding of where these challenges have come from, how they may develop and how they might be resolved.
Our work is divided into research strands covering a wide range of interests. We look at situations as far reaching as the Baltic, Rising China, Maritime Security, A Westphalia for the Middle East, Religion and International Studies, European Orders and Disintegration Studies. We are developing a new research stream on the future of the island of Ireland, working alongside colleagues in the History Faculty. Our work is carried out through academic research, public events such as talks and webinars, round table conferences and face-to-face meetings. We have our own podcast channel with weekly podcasts, social media and published reports. Our fellows are active on the international stage and in global media. Our voice carries far and loud and the impact of our work is considerable.
