Current Fellows' research
- Exploring the Genesis Moment: Tracking the Making of a New World Order and Europe’s Place in ItAs the existing world order unravels, how the new one will be forged is yet uncertain, as there is no consensus on how to identify the new or upcoming order. Many identifications have been suggested: the world is multipolar, apolar, asymmetrically multipolar, in entropy, or bipolar.
- Faith and Flag: Religious Nationalism in the Age of PopulismThe gods are once again afoot in the public square. Across the globe, a toxic mixture of religion and nationalism is upending liberal conventions. In the United States, Christian nationalists have reshaped both the Republican Party and American politics.
- Kosovo Specialist Chambers as a New Model of Internationalized Courts: Legal, Political and Discursive Implications for Transitional JusticeThe Kosovo Specialist Chambers are a distinctive entity in international criminal justice, tasked with prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed by members of the Kosovo Liberation Army during and after the Kosovo War.
- Industry-led MigrationMigration has long been a topic of discussion in political discourse, and experiences of racism are part of the everyday life of migrant workers in Germany.
- 2025 Archival DevelopmentIn 2025, Anastasia Felcher will take part in setting up a digital archive of Russia’s war against Ukraine as a joint INDEX-IWM Archival Development Fellow at the newly launched INDEX Institute for Documentation and Exchange in Lviv.
- Resistance, Temporariness and Political (Dis)Continuity: Urban Governance and Refugees’ Labor Market Integration in Hamburg and IzmirThe project explores urban governance of refugee integration through a local-to-local interregional comparison. The interregional dimension is essential for uncovering similar local rationales despite national-level differences.
