Since its establishment, the Third World Studies Center (TWSC) has committed itself to the pursuit of intellectual competence in political economy, democracy and development, and to the promotion of progressive policy alternatives.
The research areas for the TWSC include:
- Political Economy
- Democratisation Processes
- Political Culture
Over the years, the centre’s activities have broadened into five areas of work: Research, Publications, Training, Exchange, and Resource Collection.
The website contains information on the background of the Centre, research themes, training modules, research fellowship programme, news and events, links, and contact information. The website also contains information on publications, some of which are available for download from the website.
