WELCOME TO URBANORMS:

Exploring international city networks in global norm dynamics!

URBANORMS is a research project that studies the activities and structures of international city networks in global politics. Its mission is to understand how network structures influence the activities of international city networks in global norm dynamics and to explore the variance of these activities in reference to different institutional and political backgrounds.

Urbanorms was launched in Spring of 2022 at the Institute of International Relations of the TU Braunschweig. The research team consists of Prof. Dr. Anja P. Jakobi as Principal Investigator, as well as Ronja Haenschen, M.A., Dr. Bastian Loges, and several Student Assistants.

Funding for this project is provided by the German Research Foundation (DFG) until 2025.
