Current Lectures

Bastian Loges is a senior lecturer at the Institute of International Relations. He is currently working on the DFG project URBANORMS, which investigates how network structures influence the contributions of international city networks to global norm dynamics. In particular, Bastian investigates the activities of city networks in international human rights and health policy.

In general, Bastian's research at the IIR focuses on global governance, international institutions and policy diffusion in the global society, primarily on norms in international politics. In addition, he regularly offers courses on global governance, theories of international relations, and introductions to academic skills. In addition, he offers courses at BA and MA levels, which are based on his current research interests.
