Institut für Politikwissenschaft
Chair: Transnational Governance
The research group on Transnational Governance was established in 2010 with funding from the German “Excellence Initiative”. The field of Transnational Governance not only includes the international activities of states and intergovernmental organizations but also those of non-state actors, such as transnational corporations and NGOs. Much of our empirical analysis is systematically related to normative issues in international political theory, in particular democratic theory. We also have a keen interest in the disciplinary history of international relations and the history of international thought more broadly.
Members of our research group regularly teach seminars on international organizations, transnational civil society, North-South relations and questions of development. In addition, we cover issues from the field of international political theory and theories of international relations. Our seminars contribute to the MA programmes in “International Studies: Peace and Conflict Research” and “Political Theory” that we are offering in cooperation with Goethe-University Frankfurt and the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF).

New research project on „Terminological innovations in the field of international relations: emergence and diffusion”
April 24, 2023
The German research foundation (DFG) has approved an interdisciplinary research project on political and academic discourses in the field of international relations.
Prof. Marcus Müller from the Institute of Linguistics and Literary Studies and Prof. Jens Steffek from the Institute of Political Science will direct this research project together. The aim of the project is to analyse with corpus-linguistic methods how exactly, and to what extent, terminological innovations from academic discourses spread to the language of politics. The project will start in the autumn of 2023 and has a planned duration of three years.
