Geopolitics & freedom of thought
The programme's distinctive dimension: epistemic power, intellectual independence, knowledge dependency and independent strategic thought.
This area holds the programme's distinctive research question. It asks how geopolitical structures of power and knowledge affect the ability of individuals, societies and civilizations to think independently about the world.
It also pursues the reciprocal question: how independent thought affects the capacity of societies and states to make autonomous geopolitical judgments. Neither direction is assumed to dominate; the relationship between them is the object of research.
