Primary Fields of Research

Cornelia Baciu is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Military Studies, Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen. She researches institutions, norms, orders & international conflict. She is developing a research agenda that seeks to introduce the notion of ‘order’ understood as the interplay and governance processes between state institutions, everyday power relations, and the international organization. She investigates especially how evolutionary stable peaceful equilibria can be achieved and under what conditions institutional change can occur, by looking empirically at case studies of established democratic orders as well as of hybrid or fragile orders. She also specialized in meta-science, where she focuses on epistemological pluralism and research methods.
