Professor Emeritus of Modern HistoryUniversity of Vienna
Career/field of interest:
Foreign Policy
I am a nominally retired professor of modern history, specializing in history of science. I am currently working on a book on how science-politics relationships were re-negotiated during and following political regime changes in the 20th century. Obviously, the current situation in the US would be a fine case for such a study, but my role in this case is that of political commentator with historical background.
