Operating within the framework of the research programme Global Development and Social Justice, and contributing to the overall research objectives of the institute, four research groups bring together senior academic staff, post-docs and PhD researchers for day-to day interaction and the discussion of research plans and output.
Together, the four research groups mobilize the intellectual capital that is present at the institute for research activities that are undertaken by staff within or across the groups, depending on the nature of the research topic at hand.
The four research groups reflect the diversity of research at ISS in terms of research foci and methodological approaches.
