The scope of IEGL’s research

IEGL and its member centres have been involved in a very wide range of governance research and related issues.
  • Research into the governance of: corporations (including government owned corporations), professions, NGOs, governments and global organizations
  • Mobilizing the disciplines with major contributions to understanding that nature of, problems with and solutions for institutional and community governance – law, criminology, ethics, political science, economics
  • Comparative governance research – particularly between governance values in Islamic and western cultures
  • Cutting edge research in environmental governance, e-governance, policing, violence


The outcomes of IEGL research have been widely recognized and have led to many achievements.
The ARC’s inaugural Grahame Clarke forum  featured 20 ARC funded researchers who had “made a difference”.  Of the five researchers from the humanities and social sciences, four were from IEGL member centres.
