The Network
Foundation
On 31 May 2007 an international and interdisciplinary Research Group entitled
The European Network for the Study of Globalisation (ENG) was established in association with the Centre for Intercultural Studies (ZIS-FF) in Fürstenfeld, Austria.
Concept
Theory formation
The research will be based upon empirical studies and be primarily oriented toward the development of theories.
These theories will aid in the exploration and refinement of the understanding of the multifaceted phenomenon
called globalisation that has come to define the contemporary world system.
Innovation
The group will analyse and criticise existent theories of Globalisation, build upon their strengths
and transgress their weaknesses. Due to this project's interdisciplinary, the work will be qualitatively
distinct from the continuation or extension of this field within mono-disciplinary contexts.
Interdisciplinary
The group has an interdisciplinary composition. The founding members have extensive experience in trans-disciplinary
research. The group pursues theoretical research exclusively from interdisciplinary points of departure.
