Our research activity, which addresses this core problematic on levels ranging from the personal to the planetary, is driven by six interconnected research centres including: the Centre for Democratic Engagement; the Centre for Global Development; the European Centre for the Responsibility to Protect; the Centre for Global Security Challenges; the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics; and the Centre for Contemporary Political Theory.
