Associate Professor, Program Coordinator for Philosophy, Politics & Economics, Department Chair

  • Department: History and Politics

Professor H盲gel, born in Germany, studied political science at Freie Universit盲t Berlin, Columbia University and Humboldt-Universit盲t zu Berlin. Before joining The American University of Paris in 2006, he worked as researcher and consultant for the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, the German Bundestag, the European Commission, the House of Lords and other institutions. His research focuses on the intersections of comparative politics and international relations/political economy, and how transnational and global processes transform state sovereignty.

H盲gel鈥檚 past research concerned the European Union鈥檚 regulation of the free movement of persons and capital, how states try to control cross-border flows under conditions of regional integration and globalization.

His latest project 鈥淏illionaires in World Politics鈥� examined the political consequences of rising inequalities and asks questions about the agency of the ultra-wealthy in a sphere traditionally dominated by states and international organizations. The research findings were published as a听听in 2020.

At 吃瓜tv, Professor H盲gel is coordinating the Philosophy, Politics & Economics major.
