The Department of International Politics at the Institute of Political Science of the University of Vienna conducts empirical and theoretical research especially on the topics of the management and crisis of liberal globalization, international environmental and resource policies, socio-ecological transformation processes, and imperial lifestyles.
The regional focus is currently on Europe and Latin America, with a spotlight on state and international policies as well as social movements and trade unions. Methodologically, many studies are orientated on historical-materialistic policy analysis (HMPA).
Weitere Forschungen im Themenfeld Internationale Politik am Institut für Politikwissenschaft erfolgen im Rahmen des vom Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF) Elise Richter geförderten und von Dr.in Alina Brad geleiteten Projekts The Politics of Negative Emissions Technologies in the EU.
Im Rahmen des vom Jubiläumsfonds der Oesterreichischen Nationalbank (ÖNB) geförderten und von Dr. Tobias Boos geleiteten Projekts „The Cultural Political Economy of Bitcoin in the Global South“ (BITELSA).
