From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Annette Freyberg-Inan is a German-born political scientist and a faculty member at the University of Amsterdam’s Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences.[1] She has written extensively on issues related to international relations theory, politics in Europe, including Turkey, and the internationalization of higher education.

Career

[edit]

Freyberg-Inan earned her MA in Political Science and English from the University of Stuttgart and later completed her PhD in Political Science at the University of Georgia.[2] Early in her career, she served as a UN consultant in Romania and became a Civic Education Project Visiting Faculty Fellow at the University of Bucharest (2000-2003).[3] During this time, she co-founded The Romanian Journal of Society and Politics in 2000, the first Romanian political science journal to implement double-blind peer review.[4]

Freyberg-Inan's 2004 book What Moves Man critically examines the foundations of realist International Relations theory, challenging its assumptions about human nature and advocating for a more nuanced understanding of state behaviour. Scholar Patrick James described it as “the best treatment of realism I have seen from an interdisciplinary standpoint.”[5]

She has held academic positions at the University of Amsterdam, the Technische Universität Darmstadt, and the University of Edinburgh. Freyberg-Inan returned to the University of Amsterdam in 2013, where she served as the Director of the Graduate School of Social Sciences (2017-2023).[6]

Freyberg-Inan served as the vice-president of the International Studies Association (2013-2014),[7] as president of its Theory Section (2015-2017),[8] and on the Executive Council of the Central and Eastern European International Studies Association (2010-2016). She has held editorial roles including Executive Editor of The Romanian Journal of Society and Politics (2000-2003), Associate Editor of the Journal of International Relations and Development (2012-2015),[9] and co-editor of the European Journal of International Relations (2018-2022).[10][11]
