Resilience and Resistance

GNSI investigates the robustness of current governance frameworks within a state and the capacity for resistance against dominant governance models. Understanding the resilience of both state and societal structures, along with recognizing and evaluating domestic resistance to these frameworks, is essential for grasping the broader human context required to understand intrastate conflict, including internationalized intrastate conflict. These data-centric studies enable democratic states and progressive institutions to enhance human security in situations where it is jeopardized – whether by authoritarian regimes or insufficient governance.
