Research Data

In the sense of good research practice, our experts share their data with the scientific community whenever possible. Learn more about research data on GIGA topics in the field of international relations, peace, security, and development.


  • Research data management is part of the GIGA’s institutional culture. It encompasses all activities related to research data and is implemented jointly by GIGA scholars and the research-supporting departments, taking place in cooperation with infrastructure partners. In order to fulfil the institutional requirements for research data management according to the guidelines of the GIGA Code for Good Research Practice, the DFG, the Leibniz Association, and other funding bodies, we are currently working on our internal processes regarding quality assurance. Since December 2017 the GIGA has had its own guidelines on handling research data, as applicable to all team members.

    At the GIGA, research data is understood to be an independent output and is presented accordingly as independent publications on this page. This includes quantitative forms – such as survey data and measurement data – as well as qualitative ones, too – such as interview recordings and transcripts, field notes, or audio-visual information. Geo-referenced data, questionnaires, software, and the results of experiments and simulations can also be classified as research data. GIGA scholars generate a wide variety of research data formats, reflecting the diversity of the respective disciplines, interests, and methods represented at the GIGA.

    Legitimation Strategies of Regional Organizations (LegRO)

    In an era of increasing political challenges to global and regional organizations, it is crucial to understand how they claim legitimacy and how successful they are in this respect. Yet, we know surprisingly little about the sources and consequences of legitimation in most regional organizations worldwide. In this project, we thus map the legitimation strategies of a sample of 28 organizations between 1980 and 2019.
