Stephan Stetter

I am a professor of International Relations and Conflict Studies at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. I am a scholar working on theories of International Relations, particularly informed by historical (global history, deep history) and sociological (world society, social theory, evolution theory) thinking. But it is not only about theory, I have lived, studied, and research on and in the Middle East. In addition I also work on EU foreign politics. Academic research and teaching is central, but also engaging in the world of politics: I entertain contacts with NGOs, think tanks and officials in many Middle Eastern countries and consider this an important task to engage with policy-maker and people on the ground to address conflict dynamics and try to find remedies.
