Life

Rainer Tetzlaff studied German, history, political science and education at the universities of Bonn and Berlin. After completing his studies in 1968 with a dissertation in history on German colonial history at the Friedrich Meinecke Institute of the Free University of Berlin, he worked from 1968 to 1974 at the Politics Office of Africa at the Otto Suhr Institute, first as an assistant, then as an assistant professor. In April 1974 Tetzlaff moved to the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, where he took on a lectureship in international politics at the Institute for Political Science. He received his habilitation in 1979 with a political science study of the World Bank and its influence in developing countries. Research trips to African countries as well as the USA, the UN, the IMF and the World Bank followed. The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Volkswagen Foundation granted Tetzlaff numerous third-party funding projects that made it possible to promote young academics in the field of Third World research and comparative democracy research.

Another focus of his academic work was peace and conflict research in the field of international North-South relations. He acted as a member of the board of trustees of the FEST (Research Center of the Evangelical Student Community) in Heidelberg, as a member of the board of trustees of the Institute for Peace and Security Policy Hamburg (IFSH) and as a member of the board of directors and the board of trustees of the Institute for African Studies (IAK) Hamburg, des today's GIGA (German Institute of Global and Area Studies). Since 2016 he has been a member of the jury for the award of the Christiane von Rajewski Prize of the Working Group for Peace and Conflict Research (AFK). Interrupted by a substitute professorship at the University of Konstanz (Chair Ziebura) in 1979 and through research stays in Zambia, South Africa, Ghana and Ethiopia, he taught at the University of Hamburg until his retirement. He then took on the Otto von Freising visiting professorship at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt in 2006 and taught at Jacobs University Bremen as Wisdom Professor of African and Development Studies from 2008 to 2016. Since 2000 he has been a lecturer at the Europa-Kolleg at the University of Hamburg on the subject of the history of the European Community / Union. Since 2016 he has been a Senior Research Fellow at the Academy of World Religions Hamburg.
