About

Overview

Konstantin is Senior Lecturer in the Department of International Politics. He is an expert in comparative European politics, the European Union, American politics, political history, political leadership, and political psychology.

In his research, Konstantin uses comparative, transnational, historical, and individual perspectives to study how people form preferences about controversial issues, how elites shape opinions and the behavior of citizens through mobilization, persuasion, and information in different political environments, and how these processes relate to critical episodes of major political conflict, such as class politics, regional integration, and the transformation of the welfare state. To investigate the interaction of large-scale political events and developments with individual-level processes, he combines the macro-analysis of institutions, conflict, and competition with a micro-level psychological approach, and he uses a range of methods including experiments, comparative case studies, surveys, elite interviews, and quantitative text analysis.

Before coming to City, Konstantin worked as assistant and associate professor of political science at Humboldt University Berlin from 2009 to 2018, Jean Monnet Fellow at the Robert Schuman Center of the European University Institute (EUI) during the academic year 2015/16, John F. Kennedy Memorial Fellow at the Center for European Studies (CES) at Harvard University during the academic year 2013/14, and lecturer of Political Science and International Studies at Ohio State University during the academic year 2008/09. He received his PhD in Political Science from Ohio State University in August 2008.
