Benjamin Klasche

Benjamin Klasche is a lecturer in politics and international relations at Tallinn University. He is also Co-Director of the Central and Eastern European Security Hub and Senior Researcher at the European Horizon Twinning Project, A critical relational perspective on peace & security in CEE.

An International Relations scholar at heart, his research also draws from Public Administration and Sociology. His research interests are IR and social theory, particularly relationalism and critical theories, climate change, and peace.

His book, A Relational Approach to Governing Wicked Problems (Palgrave MacMillan 2023), co-authored with Peeter Selg and Georg Sootla, argues for a need to rethink governance as a process from the relational point of view to spur its potential for addressing these problems. His work has been published in International Studies Quarterly, International Relations, International Review of Sociology and International Studies.
