Research

The research interests at the Chair for International Politics are in the field of Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA). Special emphasis is put on the critical application and further development of theoretical and methodological approaches in FPA. This relates, in particular, to the interplay of domestic and international sources and constraints of foreign policy. Empirically, a research focus is on German and British foreign and security policy.
