Welcome to my website!
My name is Dr Mareike (Mah-rye-kuh) Kleine (Klye-nuh). I am Jean Monnet Chair and Associate Professor of EU and International Politics at the London School of Economics.
My research and teaching focus on global governance, EU politics, international organization, and international political economy. I study the dynamics between domestic politics and international cooperation. Much of my work examines the tension between transparency and confidentiality, and between formal and informal governance in international organizations.
I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Freie Universität Berlin in 2009, after completing part of my training at Princeton University. Since then, I have held visiting appointments, among other institutions, at Harvard University, Princeton University, the European University Institute, the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin, the University of St. Gallen, and the Hertie School.
My research has appeared in leading political science journals, including the British Journal of Political Science, International Theory, Journal of Common Market Studies, Journal of European Public Policy, and the Review of International Organizations. My book, Informal Governance in the European Union, was published by Cornell University Press in 2013.
I frequently comment on current affairs on questions of global governance and EU politics.
