Projects
Perry World House research projects complement the work of our four main programs: climate, democracy, global justice and human rights, and security.
Emerging Technologies and Global Politics Project
The Emerging Technologies and Global Politics Project researches how a new generation of technologies is shaping global affairs, from how economies and societies function to the way that militaries will operate. This interdisciplinary, multi-method effort is led by Director and Richard Perry Professor Michael C. Horowitz.
Borders and Boundaries Project
The Borders and Boundaries project researches how political life both affects and is affected by international borders and border security policies. This interdisciplinary, multi-method effort is directed by Professor Beth Simmons and is composed of research teams studying border politics across a variety of different research areas. These include: a geo-spatial analysis of whether, where, and why some states choose to project their presence at international border crossings; a textual analysis of the discourse surrounding international borders; and an investigation of how public opinion is both shaping and shaped by border policies around the world.
Global Climate Security Atlas
The Global Climate Security Atlas is an online climate data visualization project that brings over 200 geospatial datasets on climate together into one place. The website layers these datasets over a map over the world, where users can compare physical climate projections, environmental and ecological data, and information on social and political systems.
