Treating the globe as one system, the project analyses the cleavages that structure world politics and asks whether conflicts are shaped territorially or along functional dimensions cutting across world regions. The long-term empirical analysis from the 19th century to the present aims to establish if, and under what conditions, international divisions opposing world regions – core−periphery, North−South, or civilisational contrasts – change and are replaced by conflict lines that oppose groups functionally along economic, political-military and socio-cultural inequalities. This project on the globalisation of politics extends PI’s previous work on the nationalisation and Europeanisation of politics (Caramani 2004, 2015) to the global level.
