Robin Markwica is the Founding Director of the German branch of the international science impact platform The Conversation. He is a political scientist specializing in international relations, foreign policy analysis, and political psychology.[1]
Education
[edit]After undergraduate studies in Political Science and History at the University of Freiburg and Harvard University, Markwica obtained a Master's degree in Modern History from the University of Cambridge (Corpus Christi College).[2] He then earned a D.Phil./Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Oxford (Nuffield College).[3]
Career
[edit]Markwica was a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow in the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute[4] and an Alfried Krupp Junior Fellow at the Alfried Krupp Institute for Advanced Study.[5] Subsequently, he became a Lecturer and Research Fellow at the Hertie School in Berlin and the head of the Ditchley Foundation’s Germany branch.

Research
[edit]Markwica’s research focused on international security, foreign policy, and the psychological dimensions of international politics.[7] His first book, Emotional Choices, was published in 2018 by Oxford University Press.[8] It introduced "emotional choice theory" (also referred to as the "logic of affect") as a third action model alongside rational choice theory and the logic of appropriateness.[9] The theory organizes, explains, and predicts the ways in which emotions shape decision-making. It is associated with its own method for identifying emotions and tracing their influences on behavior.[10]
