Ian Manners works at the nexus of critical social theory and the study of the European Union in planetary politics.  His current research interest looks at the EU and planetary politics at the intersections of  global society, economy, environment, conflict, and politics. In global society he focuses on the promotion of human rights and equality. In global economics he focuses on the promotion of freedom and social solidarity. In global environment he focuses on the promotion of sustainable development and addressing global warming. In global conflict he focuses on the promotion of sustainable peace and the rule of law. In global politics he focuses on the promotion of democracy and good governance. 

Ian Manners and Associate Professor Kennet Lynggaard (Roskilde University) recently completed a 4-year research project into 'Symbols and Myths in European Integration' funded by the Danish Social Science Research Council (FSE).
