Introduction
I’m a Senior Researcher at the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN) in the Cluster of Excellence ‘Climate, Climatic Change and Society’ (CLICCS) at the University of Hamburg. I studied History, Culture, and Languages of the Near and Middle East and Political Science (BA), Arabic at the Higher Language Institute in Damascus, Syria, and Middle East Politics (M.Sc.) at SOAS, London. I earned my PhD in International Relations from the University of Hamburg.

Some of the main genealogies within postcolonial scholarship are discussed, with a focus on key thinkers, such as Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak, Aníbal Quijano, and Walter Mignolo. Key concepts, such as colonial discourse theory, development, and subaltern studies are presented. The discussion of postcolonial thought is embedded in a ref...
This article addresses the broader question of the special issue by reflecting on
the coloniality of knowledge production in a context of global climate governance. We highlight key dynamics in which knowledge shapes climate policies and propose a decolonial approach at the nexus of academic knowledge production and policy formation by accounting f...
Concepts have not attracted their deserved attention so far, despite central contributions highlighting the constitutive role of language in IR. Concepts have to be placed in the context of how we understand reality: questions about meaning, boundaries, practices, discourses and other signifiers of social reality cannot be answered without the reco...
Während Klimaforschung lange als rein naturwissenschaftliches Unterfangen galt, wird sie zunehmend auch in den Sozialwissenschaften betrieben. Die Popularisierung in und außerhalb der Wissenschaft hat dabei nicht nur zu neuen Problembezügen geführt, sondern auch eine wachsende Unübersichtlichkeit produziert: Es ist ein Bedarf entstanden, disziplinä...
Many countries, communities, and social actors around the world are struggling to cope with the impacts of climate change. Adapting to climate change in a sustainable manner involves a huge collective effort and is barely happening. How can sustainable climate change adaptation become plausible? The Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024 provides a u...

The impacts of climate change in the Mediterranean, on land and in the sea, are not merely visible through abstract scientific data but already impinge upon human and non-human life in the region. The steady increase of dry conditions, with a current annual mean temperature of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels , precipitation, atmospheric circulati...

In a world with global greenhouse gas emissions still on the rise, higher temperatures, more extreme weather and climate events, and multiple impacts of climate change, communities face big challenges. Adaptation to climate change is needed, but not all adaptation measures are sustainable; some even worsen conditions, especially in the long run. Su...

The purpose of this second Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook is to systematically analyze and assess the plausibility of certain well-defined climate futures based on present knowledge of social drivers and physical processes. In particular, we assess the plausibility of those climate futures that are envisioned by the 2015 Paris Agreement, namely ho...

The working paper examines the UN climate conference (COP26) organised in Glasgow in November 2021 as a transnational mega-event, which constituted not only an important moment in international climate talks, but also a temporary convergence point for a multitude of actors and an arena for conflicts and contestation over framing within a broader gl...
“European Crisis in Global Perspective – Local Changes and Global Developments
Contentious politics’ long history in the countries of West Asia and North Africa (WANA) recently took a new form with the events famously labelled “Arab Spring”. These contentions have shaped the politics of respective countries in various ways within their national settings. However, what is the meaning of these processes for international politi...
Vor vier Jahren begann in Syrien der Aufstand gegen das Assad-Regime. Die Diskussionen darüber be- schränken sich hierzulande häufig auf den Krieg gegen den Terror und die Rolle von IS-AktivistInnen aus Europa und den USA. Wie im Irak verliert die internationale Politik daher auch die Situation vieler SyrerInnen vor Ort aus den Augen. So haben domi...
Die Forderung nach »kritischer« Normenforschung in den IB durch Engelkamp etal. und Deitelhoff/Zimmermann aufgreifend, plädieren wir dafür, mithilfe eines kri-tisch-konstruktivistischen Forschungsprogramms über eine poststrukturalistischePerspektive hinauszugehen, die lediglich hegemoniale Strukturen hinterfragt. Nor-menforschung muss »kritisch« bl...
