Global Society
The focus area Global Society deals with the dynamic processes of an increasingly globalized world in which migration, climate and environmental crises, social inequality, and geopolitical tensions represent urgent challenges. The term Global Society describes the social, political, and economic interconnections that transcend national borders and shape life on Earth. The publications in this focus area offer interdisciplinary perspectives on these complex phenomena and analyze how global processes interact with local contexts. The focus is on the effects of global networking on local challenges and the associated opportunities and risks, particularly regarding environmental issues, digitalization, and cultural transformations.
