Anja Jetschke is a 2007-08 Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies.
Jetschke, an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Freiberg, is working on her second book, Explaining Variation and Persistence: Asia’s Cultural Approach to International Cooperation.
The project explores how and why cultural preferences among Asian states appear to consistently lead to a less institutionalized form of international collaboration. Jetschke argues that previous explanations of the Asian approach to international cooperation don’t take context into account, and she uses comparative case studies to explore the Asian approach in areas such as economics, security and human rights.
Jetschke is also author of Arguing for Change: The Power and Effects of Transnational Public Spheres on Human Rights Practices in Indonesia and the Philippines, currently under review. Through three case studies in two countries, the book makes a constructivist argument that transnational public spheres can be a powerful steering mechanism leading to the internalization of human rights norms.
Her first book, coauthored with Thomas Risse and Hans-Peter Schmitz, is Die Macht der Menschenrechte. Internationale Normen, kommunikatives Handeln und politischer Wandel in den Ländern des Südens [The Power of Human Rights: International Norms, Communicative Action and Political Change in the Countries of the Global South] (Nomos, 2002).
Jetschke received a master’s in Political Science from Free University of Berlin in 1995, and a Ph.D. in Social and Political Science from European University in Florence in 2001.
