Italy **About the project** **Project Director **Prof Daniele Caramani GLOBAL is a macro project that investigates the dimensionality of global politics. It **Project details**
analyses the cleavages that structure world politics and asks whether conflicts are
shaped territorially or along functional dimensions cutting across world regions.
Global cleavages are addressed in a long-term empirical analysis from the 19th
century to the present. The goal is to establish if, and under what conditions,
international divisions opposing world regions - core periphery, North South, or
civilizational contrasts -increasingly blur giving way to conflict lines that oppose
groups functionally. This is done at the level of citizens, actors and institutions. GLOBAL combines a comparative approach (between the largest world polities)
and supranational one (global actors, attitudes, discourse and institutions). The
project categorizes cleavages according to three types of inequality: economic,
political-military and socio-cultural. It focuses on how actors compete to politicize
different inequalities. A multi-pronged research strategy based on statistical, scaling and network
methods is used to analyse electoral, socio-economic, roll-call, text, survey and
organizational data. The project is organized in 4 work packages based on methods
and data: (1) voting,



organizational and network analysis (2) discourse and text
analysis (3) scaling techniques with roll-call data (4) survey analysis. Each post
- doctoral research fellow takes responsibility for a work package. GLOBAL will lead to an authored book by the PI that follows work on the
nationalization and Europeanization of politics, as well as a special issue, an edited
volume, and 11 journal articles by the research team. The position is 1 of 4 post-doctoral positions in the ERC Advanced Grant project **Job description**
