Inequality and Distributive Conflicts
This research area focuses on examining resource conflicts and inequalities in relation to political behaviour, distributive justice, and political influence. Questions such as the following are examined: When do citizens protest for a fairer distribution of resources? Do governments favour wealthy citizens in their policies? How does the political power of economic elites manifest itself in different areas? Another focus is social movements campaigning against distributive injustices, particularly in the Global South, and their interactions with international organisations and influence on economic policy.
