Main research areas
Die Forschungsaktivitäten der IPW Mitarbeiter*innen sind dabei am Zentrum für Demokratieforschung (ZDEMO) konzentriert. Aktuelle Hinweise auf Vorträge und Konferenzen in den Teilbereichen der Politikwissenschaft finden sich daher auf den Seiten des ZDEMO.
Im "Tuesday Seminar" stellen Mitglieder des Instituts und von auswärts geladene Gäste ihre aktuellen Forschungs- oder Buchprojekte vor und stellen sie zur kritischen, aber fairen Diskussion unter Kolleginnen und Kollegen. Studierende sind herzlich dazu eingeladen!
