Governance and Inclusive Development, Amsterdam Institute of Social Science Research
(GID)
Governance and Inclusive Development (GID) scrutinizes development dynamics at various geographical, jurisdictional and temporal scales, realizing that these are situated in different but interconnected multi-level processes. GID analyses and rethinks dominant development paradigms, and engages with international, national and local development practices, policies and debates to identify viable and socially just alternatives.
It thereby emphasizes that development pathways are affecting and affected by ‘planetary boundaries’ and climate change.

Research goals
The team focuses on the strategic issues of multi-level (glocal) governance and inclusive development. The reason for doing this is that drivers of change and development processes emerge and interact at all scale levels in unpredictable ways. Such dynamics include feedback loops at primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
Centre for sustainable development studies and Centre for Maritime Research
GID hosts the Centre for Sustainable Development Studies and chairs the social-science Centre for Maritime Research, each stimulating the vibrant intellectual exchange of knowledge through their biennial conferences and associated academic journals, newsletters and publication series.
