The Global Systemic Risk research community frames its inquiry from a number of vantage points to better understand the nature of risk, the structure of increasingly fragile systems, and the ability to anticipate and prevent catastrophic consequences.
The research community on Global Systemic Risk at Princeton University provides structure for a core group of scholars across a wide variety of disciplines to establish a common dialogue in this emerging field. Working as a group, the depth and breadth of their interests will help to establish a comprehensive and cohesive framework for the study of risk and thus move the field forward. The research community has received support from PIIRS and alumni donors and is led by Miguel Centeno, Musgrave Professor of Sociology and a professor of sociology and international affairs.
