Welcome to the Centre for the Study of International Governance
The Centre for the Study of International Governance (CSIG) was established in December 2006. Located within the Department of Politics, History and International Relations (PHIR), CSIG builds on the international and national reputation of the former European Research Centre. The work of the Centre proceeds from an assumption that in the absence of an over-arching political authority, debates on the principles and practice of international governance will be varied and often highly controversial. The concept of governance itself is contested and in this light the Centre welcomes a wide range of viewpoints and aims to embrace broad thematic coverage.
