Institutsprofil Inef

The Institute for Development and Peace (INEF) was founded in 1990 as the first institute of the Faculty of Social Sciences exclusively focusing on research and research transfer into academic and political debates.

We analyze issues in the field of peace and conflict as well as development studies and ask which actors address and govern global challenges and with what effects (global governance).

Under our current research programme “Contested Authority in Transnational Governance” we organize our work into the three research areas:

I. Global Governance for Sustainable Development

II. Human Rights and Regulation in the Global Economy

III. Social Conflicts and Resilience
