Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society, and Rule of Law (CISRUL)

Description

The Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society, and Rule of Law studies life in the world of political concepts. The interdisciplinary Centre examines how political principles function within and beyond the contemporary West. Concepts such as citizenship, civil society, and the rule of law are used as often by policymakers as by scholars. Core to the Centre’s mission is informing academic and public debate on how they are used, and to what effect.

The Centre brings together an extraordinary range of researchers, including PhD students, to study these and other political principles, including democracy, human rights and pluralism. The Centre considers how they have been fostered historically, debated philosophically and in politics, fought over by social movements, codified in law, transmitted through education and the media, and lived out in everyday life.
