Max Nagel is an assistant professor in the Centre for Environment, Economy and Energy as well as the Centre for Migration, Diversity and Justice at the Brussels School of Governance. Furthermore, he co-directs its BA Global Business and Entrepreneurship programme. Previously, Max was a post-doctoral researcher at Bremen University. He received a Ph.D. in Political Sciences and Sociology from Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence, a M.A. in Economic and Financial Sociology from Goethe University Frankfurt, and a B.A. in International Economics and Development from Bayreuth University. Max was a visiting scholar at Warsaw University, Sciences Po Paris, Central European University, and the University of Pennsylvania.
His research focuses on the governance of global finance as well as international migration in East Asia, Eastern and Southern Europe, and Latin America. The increasing urgency to govern the national repercussions of globalization, such as global financial volatilities, brain drain, and climate change, renders the development of state strategies of utmost importance. Max’s ongoing research scrutinizes the diverse state strategies and seeks to explain how variation in party systems and expert knowledge affects their creation and adoption.
The close integration of theory and practice in his research is guiding his teaching of, among others, International Finance and Strategic Management.
