Advancing Interdisciplinary Research on Global Governance
SCGG – A Pioneering Research Hub Leading the Conversation on Global Governance Issues
The Stockholm Center on Global Governance (SCGG) is an international, interdisciplinary research center devoted to the study of global governance, based at Stockholm University.
SCGG offers world-leading research on global governance across the social sciences, humanities, and law. The center also organizes an interdisciplinary research school and supports collaboration across a wide range of societal actors.
The center brings together more than eighty researchers and doctoral students across different disciplines, and collaborates with several of the world's leading research institutes in global governance.
SCGG's main research theme focuses on the overarching question of why, how, and with what consequences global governance is challenged, as well as how global governance can be strengthened, by becoming more democratic, efficient and fair.
The center creates a unique interdisciplinary environment at the international research frontier and is Northern Europe's first center for the study of global governance.
SCGG is one of 15 centers of excellence established with support from the Swedish Research Council.\ \ SCGG – Brief Summary (Swedish)
SCGG – a Swedish Research Council Center of Excellence
"Global collaboration is necessary to manage transboundary problems, such as climate change, virus pandemics, financial crises, and military conflicts. At the same time, the concept is increasingly being challenged by various actors. The center is conducting research about the drivers behind the contentiousness, the processes that challenge global collaboration, and the consequences of global collaboration being called into question". \ \ The 15 Centers of Excellence\

Democracies tend to want to cooperate more than non-democratic states. Political scientist Jonas Tallberg is examining whether this generally accepted view is true, both by delving into history and by studying contemporary trends.
