I am a social
and political
scientist with a
special interest for
political
transformation
processes, such as the
challenge of both populism
and political
correctness
for
liberal
democracies.
Current
projects include comparative
studies on the development
of western political
systems.
An according
working paper
series at the
Center for Liberal Thought
examines selected
challenges for
liberal
democracies in
detail.
I have been a lecturer
and researcher at the
Interfacultary
Institute for East and
Central Europe, University
of Fribourg,
Switzerland - and
hold a PhD of the same
university. Among
others, I was a member
of the ISN Parallel
History Project and
NATO/Warsaw Pact team
at the Center for
Security Studies, ETH
Zurich and a research
collaborator
(challenges of modern
migration processes)
at the University of
Neuchatel,
Switzerland.
I was born in southern
Germany. From
Czech-Slovak-German
origin, I speak several
Eastern
European, and the most
important Western
European languages.
