Aktuelle Forschung
Internationale und regionale Regierungsorganisationen im Vergleich
Regionale Organisationen sind wichtige Akteure in der globalen und regionalen Governance, und ihre Autorität ist in allen Weltregionen gewachsen. Angesichts der zunehmenden Politisierung rechtfertigen diese Organisationen zunehmend ihr Recht zu regieren. Der GIGA Focus Global analysiert deren Legitimationsmuster.
In an era of increasing political challenges to global and regional organizations, it is crucial to understand how they claim legitimacy, and how successful they are in this respect. Yet, we know surprisingly little about the sources and consequences of legitimation in most regional organizations around the world. In this project we thus map the legitimation strategies of a sample of 30 organizations and conduct qualitative comparative case studies on major organizations in the Global South.

The rapid rise in the number of international institutions increases the complexity of the global system. Does this complexity strengthen or weaken the EU's capacity to interact with the world? This is the core question in GEM-STONES, an integrated research and PhD fellowship programme of 15 European institutions, coordinated by the Université Libre de Bruxelles. The two early stage researchers who stay at the GIGA study regional integration processes and regional security governance. EC, Horizon 2020, 2016-2020
