Chair of International Relations

The field of “International Relations” studies the interaction of states, international organizations (IOs), non-state actors (such as non-governmental organizations and multi-national corporations), and individuals beyond national borders. 

The Chair of International Relation of Dr. Lisbeth Zimmermann at Zeppelin University examines how states are being transformed—and the attendant controversies.
