Research

The research of JUST SOCIETY focuses on the nexus between social, legal and political institutions that influence the implementation of the rule of law, access to justice and redistributive public services and benefits in a Global South context. It brings together perspectives from law, political science, and sociology to deepen the understanding of encounters between individuals and state actors.

JUST SOCIETY develops its research programme in collaboration with partners. We are, inter alia, establishing a new research network ”Merging law and politics to ensure equal access to welfare rights” with a kick-off workshop in mid-2022. The network is based on comparative and explorative research collaboration by joining legal, sociological, and political perspectives, and by bringing together scholars from four continents (Denmark, Brazil, India, and South Africa).
