Beate Sissenich is an Assistant Professor of Political Science. She specializes in European integration and studies how domestic and international politics interact. In particular, she studies how rules spread across national borders and what role nonstate actors play in this process. Using network analysis, she investigates whether governments act as gatekeepers for cross-border contacts among nonstate actors. Her book manuscript State-Building by a Nonstate: The Transfer of European Union Social Policy to Poland and Hungary is under contract with Lexington Books.
Dr. Sissenich holds a PhD from Cornell University (2003), an MA from Brandeis University (1997), and a BA from the Free University of Berlin (1994).

She will spend AY 2007-08 as a visiting scholar at Columbia University's Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy.
