Home to world-leading political scientists and thinkers
The work of our academics spans issues such as peace, conflict and security, race, gender, free speech, as well as justice, freedom and democracy. It shapes and informs policies at the local, national and international level, and supports major agencies like the UN, NATO, and The World Trade Organisation.
Innovation and impact
We are a nexus for big questions and big ideas. We develop innovative new ways for gathering, processing and analysing data; we create new theoretical frameworks; and our research projects tackle some of the most-pressing challenges around the globe.
Our diverse research community bridges International Relations, Comparative Politics, and Political Theory.
