This will entail an exploration of existing structures, institutions, actors, distributions of power, and rules of governance; how they interact with each other across different jurisdictions and national boundaries; and how appropriate or fit for purpose they are in solving major global challenges. The Institute proposes to explore 5 core themes: Global justice and equity; Global economy: Global institutional change and democracy; Global security; Global sustainability. It is hoped that the candidate will contribute to one or some of these themes. The new lecture will have a half teaching load and will be expected to teach two courses on Governance issues for the the departments existing MSc’s.
