The Research Centre in International Relations (RCIR) conducts research on practices of security and conflict, their transformation, and their social and political implications.

The Centre is characterised by an interdisciplinary orientation, which draws on international political sociology, philosophy, and international political theory. Scholars associated with the Centre are interested in how the discourses and practices of security, war, and responses to conflict reflect and constitute particular governmental rationality that transcend the inside/outside, domestic/international distinction and that have implications for the constitution of political communities, social relations and their transformations.
