Short Bio

Andreas Kruck is Senior Researcher and 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 the international political economy and in international security. He studies, among other things, power shifts and institutional change of international institutions, power rivalries and cooptation in international orders, contestation of international institutions, institutional change in indirect governance with private actors, rising powers and private economic standards, and qualitative methods of foresight in IR. His empirical expertise is in the fields of international economic and security institutions, credit rating agencies, non-Western emerging economies, 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, Regulation & Governance, Global Constitutionalism, Global Policy, Global Studies Quarterly, International Theory and others. He is the author of Private Ratings, Public Regulations: Credit Rating Agencies and Global Financial Governance (Palgrave, 2011), co-author of International Organization (Palgrave, 2019, 2012) and has co-edited special issues on the adjustments of international institutions to global power shifts (Global Policy, 2020) the “regulatory security state” in Europe (Journal of European Public Policy, 2023), and "cooptation in great power rivalries" (Contemporary Security Policy, 2025).
