Research Centres
The Centre for Citizenship and Globalisation is based on wide networks of research affiliations and operates at the cutting edge of international research. Two established research centres, and one research concentration provide the organisational core of the CCG. Through these centres and the work of individual academics, the CCG brings together internationally recognised scholars from diverse areas who provide a range of perspectives on the new meanings of citizenship in an interconnected world.
CCG Clusters & Groups
The Migration and Inter-cultural Research Cluster (MIRC) is a cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary research forum focussed on exploring the cultural, social and economic implications of migration for contemporary western and non-western societies and its impacts for intercultural relations.
The Governance and Democracy Research Cluster (GDRC) investigates problems of democratic theory and practice. The group is focused on conditions and prospects for democratisation of political regimes and governance at local, national, and global levels.
The Asia-Pacific Regionalism and Asian Literacy Research Cluster (APRAL) explores the significance of regionalism. This research group brings together a range of scholars, both senior and junior, for the first time. Although predominantly based in the International Relations teaching area of the School of International and Political Studies, the group includes members from other areas of the Faculty. It also includes two HDR candidates, thus creating an opportunity to develop a research cluster that can evolve over time. The group spans a diverse spectrum of research skills, interests and experience, and this diversity forms a sound basis for innovative, multidisciplinary research.
The Australian Middle East Research Forum (AMERF) is a cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary research forum focused on research into the Middle East from an Australian perspective. AMERF is a research network open to researchers and anyone interested in the region.
