Preliminary Talks/ Entry of Final Assignments
The lecturers of the Institute for Political Science guarantee a personal, detailed and high quality assistance of final assignments at the institute's bachelor and master programmes. We ask candidates to communicate at least six weeks before end of the deadline for the submission of the entry. We also ask to make personal contact with the potential primary examinant at least 6 to 8 weeks before the registration deadline. Please prepare a one to two page exposee before you approach the examinant during a pastoral hour. The exposee is supposed to include the following points: research question, theoretical focus and outline, brief description of the paper's main subject, ideas for the design of the case, ideas to demarcate the case (e.g. time, actors, level of analysis).

Research Areas
The research focusses on the analysis of politics conducted by international and transnational institutions (global governance). At the centre of the research is the efficiency of governance, and and normative questions of democratic legitimacy and distributive justice. In regard to the methodological approach quantitative and qualitative methods are used to the same extent. Particular meaning is attributed to the differentiation of actors in global politics. In global governance, next to state actors, non-state actors take an increasingly exposed role as origin of issues and/ or co-regulators. The analysis of different forms of governance particularly focusses on international environmental and climate politics, different governance forms of global dietary politics and the position of religion in global politics. Another focus point is the analysis of transnational security threats, with particular emphasis to the contribution of ecological devastation to armed conflicts and the peaceful resolution, including preventive measures, of potential disputes.Availability of IR-Journals at JLU
