Projects

Research Group Security and Capitalism

Research Center for Geoeconomics (EFGEo)

The research center conducts interdisciplinary foundational research on key questions of geoeconomics. It brings together perspectives from International Political Economy, Law, International Relations, Conflict Studies, and Public Policy. Its primary focus is the analysis of global shifts—from geopolitical conflicts to changing trade and investment patterns, as well as the increasing securitization of economic processes. The aim is not only to capture these dynamics in their global implications but also to highlight their relevance for Europe, Germany, and the state of Thuringia. EFGeo builds on the work of the former “Research Group on Security Capitalism” and develops it further in an expanded, internationally oriented perspective.
