dr. S. Telle (Stefan)

I am Assistant Professor for European Governance and Politics at the University of Twente. I teach courses on Multilevel institutions and governance, Policy-making in the European Union, and Europe in the World.

Before joining UT, I was a Research Associate at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute in Florence. Here I studied the preferences of EU member state governments concerning differentiated integration (Horizon 2020 project “InDivEU - Integrating Diversity in the European Union”). I have published the book “The EU’s Response to Brexit” with Brigid Laffan (Palgrave, 2023). Earlier, I was a Leibniz Fellow at Leipzig University (2019) and a visiting lecturer at the University of Yangon in Myanmar (2017/2018). I completed my PhD studies in the Marie Curie ITN “RegPol2 - Socio-economic and Political Responses to Regional Polarisation in Central and Eastern Europe” (2017).

Organisations

My research focuses on the politics of European integration. I am especially interested in the drivers and constrains to integration; and in the impact of integration on statehood in Europe.
