Democracy and Human Rights Research Cluster

Combining deep theoretical foundations with expansive comparative insights, our researchers examine democracy's heartbeat across the globe - from violent and nonviolent conflicts to authoritarian regimes, from protest movements to forced displacement, revealing how universal principles of human rights and democratic governance adapt and evolve across diverse political landscapes.
