Real-world events often seem to catch the social sciences by surprise leading to serious policy failures. We tend to "flatten" the world into one coherent homogeneity. GIGA President Prof. Amrita Narlikar argues that a global approach may help us overcome the problem. Scholarship needs to factor in cultural characteristics of new players, on their own terms and in comparative perspective. This is for a very simple reason: because they matter. For policy and practice, this means recognising diversity and then exploring the new negotiating space that emerges from this knowledge.
What could this new global approach look like – and how can it be implemented? At the presentation of the first issue of the new GIGA Focus series, our panel will discuss these and other questions. We cordially invite you to join us.
Seating is limited; please register early at www.giga-hamburg.de/en/event/because-they-matter

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
