Welcome!

I am Managing Director of the Center for Global Studies (CGS) as well as Lecturer and Research Fellow at the Chair in International Relations, Institute for Political Science and Sociology, University of Bonn.

My key research areas are power and power shifts in international affairs, with a special focus on soft power; U.S. foreign policy, the U.S. presidency, and transatlantic relations; and individual agency in history and global politics.

Thanks for your interest in my work!
