Research

The European Foreign Policy Research Group

The European Foreign Policy group looks at both EU as well as state foreign policies within Europe and their interconnections.

Centre for German Transnational Relations

The centre examines Germany's changing transnational role in the economic, political and cultural spheres. We study how the recent rise of Germany to a position as a 'reluctant hegemon' shapes European economies as well as the world economy.
