Politics is at the heart of human life. From an international, to an interpersonal scale, political structures and processes profoundly affect the distribution of resources and human rights. Our vision is a world with a wider understanding of political power, process, and its impact. This is what we study, and this is what we teach.

Celebrating 25 years of DPIR

Throughout 2025, we’re recognising the real-world impact and influence of our research over the past 25 years. Join us as we celebrate successes of staff and students – past and present - and connect with our alumni from across the world.
