Research Profile

Research profile

The International Center for Business and Politics’ research concerns developments in the relationship between businesses and politics. All our research is comparative and includes Denmark as one of several cases.

The areas of focus for our research are:

• Comparative Political Culture
• Comparative Political Economy
• International Political Economy

Research strategy

The Center’s research focuses on Europeanisation and globalisation. Emphasis is on the conditions for participation by national institutions, international organisations and various business types in market development and the consequences of this for the national political culture, national and European political institutions, and the interaction between business and politics.

The Center favours empirical research with clear theoretical goals – the development of institutional theory in particular is given a high priority.

We obtain our specialised inspiration from collaboration with research centres in three of the world’s regions – North America, Europe and Asia – but also from representatives of business communities, public organisations, political institutions and the media.

Research organisation

The Center is organised to promote international research partnerships and to develop internationally oriented – and globally supplied – educations. It is also organised to promote collaboration between pure and applied research.

A large number of visiting professors, representing the best of international research, work as associates. In addition, adjunct professors from the business world and political institutions are also associates of the Center.
