About Us
The members of the profile initiative “Violence and Security” at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences (WiSo) investigate questions of security and insecurity against the backdrop of growing political and societal polarisation, rapid digital transformation, increasing uncertainty, and an intensifying extinction of natural resources. The researchers from the disciplines of political science, sociology, criminology, and communication studies develop the faculty’s profile initiative in three research fields: emerging landscapes of security and international peace orders, narratives of public insecurity and radicalization, and contested norms, principles and rights in global conflicts.
