Since 1990, Dr. Teune has been Project Director of the Democracy and Local Governance, an international research group that has interviewed over 17,000 local political leaders in samples of local governments in 30 countries. This ongoing research program has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Central European University, as well as governmental agencies and foundations in several countries. The experiences and collaboration in this research are reflected in his contributions to the German-American Academic Foundation Symposium on Research in Germany, the U.S., and Central and Eastern Europe and his recent "The Globalization of Social Science and Education," delivered to Science Day in Austria.
He is also the principal investigator in an NSF research project, "Universities as Sites of Democratic Education" as part of an International Consortium program on Universities and civic Responsibility. The research is being conducted in collaboration with the Council Europe and other groups in Africa and Asia.
