Global Directions is a research group of the fellows and graduate students at Merton College working on pressing contemporary international challenges. Day-to-day exchange, informal seminars as well as public events provide a stimulating environment for anyone interested in issues such as climate change, humanitarian crisis response, economic development, nuclear proliferation, the regulation of armed conflict, and the effects of the changing distribution of power in the international system, particularly with the rise of China and India. Participants mainly come from international relations, politics, economics, and law, but the group seeks as broad a disciplinary background as global questions reach. For further information about Global Directions, please contact Julia Amos.
