Staatlichkeit und Governance in Transformation

It has become increasingly apparent that transformation processes are taking place on global, regional, nation state and sub-state levels, which involve constellations of actors, structures and decision-making processes in equal measure. However, such radical changes affect OECD countries in a different way than regions in which states are fragile or disintegrating.


This series of publications deals with issues related to state transformation and the corresponding governance structures in terms of where they intersect with international relations, integration research and comparisons between political systems. By analysing structures, actors, processes and forms of government, these papers aim to pioneer various research strategies which examine such phenomena from different perspectives using diverse theoretical approaches. In this way, they will provide a platform from which aspects of governance can be identified, analysed and debated on various levels and sub-levels of politics.
