Trust and Mistrust in European Security.
Tobias Wille is an assistant professor of international security at Goethe University Frankfurt and an associate fellow of the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt. His research focuses on trust and mistrust in international politics, international security, and diplomacy. From 2018 to 2020, Wille was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University supported by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship from the European Commission.
During his time at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Wille will research trust and mistrust in European security. Specifically, his project explores how Russia’s war against Ukraine, Brexit, and controversies over the future of NATO undermine trust within the European security order and seeks to identify possible strategies to protect or even rebuild trust in such political conflicts.
Wille studied political science, philosophy, and economics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Yale University, and the London School of Economics and Political Science. He received his Ph.D. in political science from the Goethe University Frankfurt.
