This research priority examines the transversal global circulations that both constitute and disrupt the given sovereign order.  While peace, security and justice are largely studied through statist frameworks, this research priority foregrounds the global movement of people, things, ideas and forces and asks how they contribute to peace and conflict.  We do not assume that the global order is either static or natural; rather, we attune ourselves to the multiple mobilities that exist – and have always existed – in, though, and underneath state borders.  In that sense, this research priority explores the transgression of borders and examines historical and contemporary patterns of migration, displacement and diasporas that trouble dominant global orders.
