He has published several books and articles on a range of issues from the United Nations and global governance to the political philosophy of international relations and the role of individuals in world politics as well as the transformation of sovereignty, the responsibility to protect and peacekeeping. His research expertise will be of special relevance for research area 1 and 2. His close contacts to relevant International Organizations and international think tanks will help our doctoral researchers to enlarge their networks to the professional world of international governance and policy consultation.
