CPD-Cluster
The „Cluster for Conflict, Peace and Democracy“ (CPDC) builds a platform for joint research initiatives by bridging scholarship and practice. Based at Global Governance within the Faculty of Law, the Cluster creates an institutional link with non-university institutions: the Democracy Centre (Demokratiezentrum, DZ) and the Institute of Conflict Research (Institut für Konfliktforschung, IKF) in Vienna as well as the Austrian Study Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution (Österreichisches Studienzentrum für Frieden und Konfliktlösung, ASPR) in Schlaining.
Minorities Network
Minorites Network is a cooperation platform of the University of Graz and the European Academy Bolzano/Bozen. Our network through research, teaching and policy advice is dedicated to the challenges of social diversity, protection of minorities and languages, realization of equality and non-discrimination in Europe and beyond.
Other networks
The department Global Governance pursues its objectives in cooperation with multiple Institutes and Centres based at the Faculty of Law, in particular with the Institute of Public Law and Political Science, the Institute of European Law, the Institute of International Law and International Relations, the Centre for East European Law and Eurasian Studies as well as with inter-faculty Centres of the University of Graz: European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy at the University of Graz (UNI-ETC) and the Centre for Southeast European Studies.
A broad network of partner universities facilitates our international cooperation, with collaborations involving:
(1) Transatlantic initiatives with US-based institutions
(2) Eurasian-focused cooperation with partners in Eastern Europe and Asia.
Our regional cooperation initiatives extend across (1) the Alps-Adriatic region, (2) the Middle East, and (3) the Caucasus.
