Centre for the Study of Global Regions

The Centre for the Study of Global Regions pursues academic and policy research on international politics and security in East Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa that is oriented along three main research axes. The first concentrates on political systems and the shifting nature of authoritarianism, focusing on topics such as social movements, the transformation of political parties, or the nature of political repression. The second axis concerns international security issues, including non-state armed actors, regional armed conflicts, missile defence, and non-traditional threats such as disinformation and covert foreign interference. Finally, the third axis revolves around the European and Czech policies towards the Middle East, North Africa, and East Asia.
