Recent Projects:
GLOBALIZATION, RESEARCH, AND INNOVATION
The word globalization has become one of the most commonly used terms in the social sciences. To what extent is it simply a trend or a new economic, political, and social phenomenon? Building on research conducted by IRPPS scholars in recent years, this research area addresses three different aspects of globalization: in economy, technology, and politics. Economic globalization has forcefully invaded daily life. New information technologies are likely the factor that has enabled and facilitated globalization in other economic, social, and cultural dimensions. Which innovations will allow for the fostering of economic development? To what extent is globalization also changing political life? Are international organizations currently able to govern the processes of change? Particular attention will be paid to the possibility of achieving a democratization of globalization through the reform of international organizations.
