REPI Recherche et Études en Politique Internationale

Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences | REPI

(Code: ULB704)

REPI is a research unit, mainly dedicated to research and studies in international politics at the Université libre de Bruxelles. It is linked to the
Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences. REPI fosters fundamental research in the field of international relations and aims at providing a high quality
framework for the research in this field (PhD dissertations, publications, conferences...). Depending on available resources, members of REPI can also provide
specific expertise for national and international institutions. Furthermore, the research centre encourages the dissemination of knowledge in international
relations to a larger audience and represents a convenient space for discussing the teaching of international relations within the university.  REPI also
organises seminars and summer schools for professionals and young scholars.

Its scientific activities focus on two major areas of international politics: the study of security issues and international public policy (environment,
health, international economics, development, etc.). These activities are rooted in several research traditions and schools of thought: foreign policy
analysis, political sociology of international affairs, critical approaches to security, international political economy, etc., with the aim of better
understanding power issues in international relations at different levels. The research agenda also includes the study of the European Union's external action and
the main international institutions.
