Annual Report 2012

In 2012, UNU-CRIS advanced its comparative research on global-regional governance while deepening its collaboration with leading global institutions.

The activities and projects carried out in 2012 continued to stress the overall perspective of the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS), which is to study the relationship between global and regional governance, to monitor regional integration worldwide and to assess the various dimensions of regional integration, with a focus on its socio-economic and politicosecurity aspects. UNU-CRIS has endeavoured to undertake comparative and multi-disciplinary research.

 

Through its projects, events and publications, the Institute has strengthened its collaboration and interactions with various institutions and top academics from all over the world.

 

Based on a selection of research projects and activities carried out by UNU-CRIS in 2012, this report aims to provide an overall picture of last year’s academic achievements.
