Global Research Network on Peaceful Change (GRENPEC)
GRENPEC is a loosely organized group of scholars and institutions worldwide who are engaged in the study of peaceful change at the international and regional levels. It will make new initiatives and linkup existing projects so as to publicize them and bring them together in a platform freely accessible to all.
Localization in World Politics
This SSHRC-funded collaborative and interdisciplinary project connects scholars and practitioners to explore the diverse meanings and uses of “localization” in world politics. Outcomes include a special forum of Global Studies Quarterly, a web-based policy guide to localization, and a podcast series.
Protecting the Internally Displaced
The primary objective of this new research project is to develop a landmark, comparative study of the localization of international norms on IDP protection, centering the roles of IDPs themselves and focusing on responses to two critical challenges: acute risks to IDPs’ physical security, and the pursuit of durable solutions to displacement.
