About the centre

The Stockholm Center on Global Governance (SCGG) is an interdisciplinary and international research center at Stockholm University with the aim to enhance the understanding of global governance. SCGG is Northern Europe's first center for the study of global governance. 

Its interdisciplinary research and training activities are focused on how global governance works culturally, economically, historically, legally, politically and psychologically. Related disciplines are, among others, history, international relations, law, political science, psychology and philosophy. 

The SCGG provides a welcoming and thriving research environment which encourages diversity, cross-disciplinary approaches, and excellence in research and training. The center also actively supports collaboration across researchers and a wide range of societal partners.

SCGG is a center of excellence established with support from the Swedish Research Council

Central themes

Researchers at SCGG are particularly interested in investigating why, how and with what consequences global governance is challenged or contested, as well as how global governance can be strengthened, by becoming more democratic, efficient and fair.

These questions are examined through four central themes: sources, processes, consequences of contestation and enhancing global governance. These themes are addressed across four main policy areas: economy, environment, security and technology. The research aims to shed light on and contribute to an increased understanding of the complex dynamics that shape global governance today.
