Our curriculum is aimed at students of “Governance and Public Policy – Staatswissenschaften”, “European Studies”, “International Cultural and Business Studies” and “Lehramt Sozialkunde”. Each semester we offer a range of courses, from introductory lectures to master’s classes. As a comprehensive introduction to International Politics, we recommend Prof. Stahl’s textbook “Internationale Politik verstehen” to first-year students.
Our research focuses on comparative foreign policy, EU foreign policy (especially towards the Balkans) and comparative regionalism (Europe–Southeast Asia). Prof. Stahl coordinates the international research group From Yugoslavia to Europe on the foreign policies and international relations of the post-Yugoslav states, and led the project Tunisia in Transition on the transformation process in the Arab world. Our newest project focuses on the silencing of mass atrocities.
The professorship of International Politics at the University of Passau exists since the fall semester 2010/11. It combines multifaceted research with a great interest in variable teaching- and assessment types. Our most basic concern with view to research and teaching is to make complex contents of international politics comprehensible. It is imperative to observe our world and, at the same time, to explain it.
Personal appointments are possible. Please contact us by e-mail.
