CV

Matthias Kranke is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Kassel, where he leads a project on the role of international organisations in post-growth and sustainability politics.

His research has been published in such journals as the European Journal of International Relations, Global Policy, Global Society, Global Studies Quarterly, New Political Economy or the Review of International Political Economy.
