The chair for “Political Theory and History of Political Thought” addresses the conceptual, systematic, historical, critical, and normative foundations of politics. We teach a variety of subjects from the history of political thought and contemporary political theory at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Research at the chair focuses on the modern history of political ideas and concepts, international political theory, and the study of political narratives.
Prof. Dr. Eva Marlene Hausteiner has held the Chair of Political Theory and History of Ideas since October 2022.
