Chair of Comparative Politics
Our Chair is dedicated in both its teaching and research to those questions that focus on the ways in which democracies and other forms of governance work. We attempt to trace the cultural foundations of politics while also bearing in mind the actions and intentions of political and social actors and their impact on society. We have expertise in and a particular focus on the following topics:
• The relationship between religion and politics
• Integration policies in societies affected by migration
• Nationalism and right-wing radicalism in nation-states undergoing change
• Capital cities and how they function within political systems
• Political consultancy
Our comparative perspective is focussed primarily on democracies in western Europe and overseas, as well as the newer democracies in central eastern Europe.
