Live and act

Christoph Knill studied from 1984 to 1988 at the University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration in Ludwigsburg and from 1988 to 1991 political and administrative science at the University of Konstanz . From 1992 to 1994 he was a research assistant at Bielefeld University . There he received his doctorate in 1994 with a thesis supervised by Adrienne Héritier on Great Britain in the area of ​​tension between domestic political reforms and European integration. The work was developed as part of the research project "Policy Networks in Transition - The Internationalization of Domestic Policy", which ran from March 1992 to April 1994. At the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne was Knill 1994 to 1995 worked as a visiting scientist. From 1995 to 1998 he was a Senior Research Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence. Knill was a research associate from 1998 to 2000 at the Max Planck project group for research into common goods in Bonn. In 1999 he completed his habilitation in political science at the FernUniversität Hagen . Knill taught from 2000 to 2004 as a professor of political science at the University of Jena . From 2004 to 2014 he taught as a professor for political and administrative science at the University of Konstanz. He declined appointments to Speyer (2006) and Zurich (2007). In 2012 he was offered a W3 professorship for political science, administration and organization at the University of Potsdam . He also rejected this and has been teaching at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich since the summer semester of 2014 at the newly established professorship for empirical theories of politics at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institut , to which he was appointed in 2013.

His research focuses on comparative policy analysis and comparative administrative science . His work on the Europeanization of national administrations and politics as well as on patterns of European governance represent important research impulses in this context . In addition, he made important conceptual contributions to the analysis of international policy convergence in various fields, such as environmental policy , university policy, and most recently so-called moral policy . In addition, he has investigated central patterns in the expansion and dismantling of policies within the framework of larger research consortia. More recent work on this concerns the analysis of the connection between economic crises and socio-political change as well as studies on the growth of state policies over time (policy accumulation and rule growth). Another research focus of Knill is the comparative analysis of the administrations of international organizations and the administrative reforms at the international level.

Knill has been part of the International Public Administration research group funded by the German Research Foundation since 2014. He is a full member of the Center for Advanced Studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. In April 2010, Christoph Knill was awarded the prestigious "ERC Advanced Grant" from the European Commission. The funded research project deals with the so far hardly examined policy area of ​​moral politics. In 2017 Knill was awarded the Bureaucracy Science Prize of the Institute of German Economy for his work on political growth together with Christian Adam and Xavier Fernadnez-i-Marín .
