Andreas Kruck is a Senior Lecturer ("Akademischer Oberrat a.Z.") in Global Governance and Public Policy at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute of Political Science. His research focuses on international institutions and private actors in global politics. He studies, among other things, power shifts and institutional change of international institutions, cooptation in international orders, contestation of international institutions, institutional change in indirect governance with private actors, rising powers and private economic standards, and qualitative predictive methods in IR. His empirical expertise is in the fields of international economic and security institutions, non-Western emerging economies, credit rating agencies, financial market regulation, European security-policy making, and private military and security companies.
Andreas Kruck holds a MA of Political Science, Public Law and American Studies from the University of Tübingen (2008) and a PhD from LMU Munich (2014).

His research has been published in journals such as European Journal of International Relations, The Review of International Organizations, Journal of European Public Policy, Contemporary Security Studies, Global Constitutionalism, Global Policy, International Theory and others.
