GRK 2225: World politics: The emergence of political arenas and modes of observation in world society

研究训练组的重点是世界政治的出现作为一个独特的领域的政治嵌入在一个世界社会环境。而不是减少世界政治及其历史的一系列主导组织形式，如民族国家或帝国，以及他们之间的关系，该集团采取了一个全面的视角，涵盖的过程和实践，支撑世界政治作为一个高度复杂的社会领域的出现。因此，它以不同领域的专业知识为基础-国际关系，社会学（世界社会理论），全球历史和国际法，以便将自己定位于快速发展的“全球历史社会学”国际研究领域，并为其做出贡献。通过各种学科输入的信息，该小组作为一个整体继续应用已被证明是非常富有成效的分析启发式，即观察模式和组织模式之间的区别，作为对世界政治演变的联系但独立方面的观点。考虑到该小组在可能总共三轮申请中的两轮中吸引的个人（博士后）博士研究项目，它还在其研究计划中指定了两个主题领域，以指导未来的合作努力。这些领域涵盖，首先，世界政治作为一个比较的地平线，连接地理和社会遥远的结构和过程，其次，全球模式，“脚本”和“蓝图”的具体做法和行动者在世界政治。凭借其研究和资格认证计划，该小组的主要目标仍然是在有限的时间内培养高质量的个人研究成果，以最好的方式支持初级研究人员，以实现这一目标，并帮助他们发展“研究个性”，以及作为一个团队产生合作产出。凭借高度的内在国际化，该集团寻求提高自身作为一个群体的国际知名度，特别是属于该集团的个人（博士后）博士研究人员的知名度。

The Research Training Group focuses on the emergence of world politics as a distinct field of the political embedded in a world society environment. Rather than reducing world politics and its history to a range of dominant organisational forms, such as nation-states or empires, and the relations between them, the group adopts a comprehensive perspective covering the processes and practices that underpin the emergence of world politics as a highly complex social realm. Accordingly, it builds on the expertise of different fields – International Relations, Sociology (world society theories), Global History, and International Law, in order to situate itself in, as well as contribute to, a fast-growing international research landscape of ‘global historical sociology’. Informed by a variety of disciplinary inputs, the group as a whole continues to apply what has proven to be a highly fruitful analytical heuristics, namely the distinction between modes of observation and modes of organisation as perspectives on linked but separate aspects of world political evolution. Reflecting the individual (post)doctoral research projects that the group has attracted during two out of a possible total of three application rounds, it has also specified two thematic fields within its research programme that will guide future collaborative efforts. These fields cover, firstly, world politics as a horizon of comparing that links geographically and socially distant structures and processes and, secondly, global models, ‘scripts’ and ‘blueprints’ of specific practices and actors in world politics.With its research and qualification programme, the primary aim of the group remains to foster high-quality individual research outputs completed in a limited amount of time, to support junior researchers in the best ways possible in order to achieve this and to help them develop ‘research personalities’, as well as to produce collaborative output as a group. With a high degree of built-in internationality, the group seeks to increase its own international visibility as a group, and, more particularly, that of the individual (post)doctoral researchers who belong to it.
