Rittberger spent his first undergraduate years at the University of Konstanz in 1996 and obtained a M.Sc. in European Policy and Politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1999. His doctoral dissertation ‘Building Europe's Parliament’ (Oxford University Press, 2005) received the Prize for Best Dissertation of the European Union Studies Association (EUSA), awarded in 2005.
Together with Professor Jeremy Richardson Rittberger is co-editor of the Journal of European Public Policy and author of numerous academic publications on the EU constitutional politics, EU integration theory, regulatory politics in the EU, new institutional theories and the democratic legitimacy of the EU.
In his research Rittberger specializes in the politics of regional integration, the EU in particular. He is also interested in institutional theory - logics of institutional choice and change - and he also works on the democratic implications of multi-tiered governance arrangements.
