Lara Klossek has joined the research group European Foreign Policy Observatory. She has obtained the Phd. scholarship Marie Sklodowska-Curie European Training Network in the framework of the project ‘Explaining Global India: a multi-sectoral PhD training programme analysing the emergence of India as a global actor (Global India)’. The network aims at creating knowledge and expertise for the EU’s engagement with the new global India. It is led by six European and six Indian universities.
Klossek will conduct her research at Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI). She holds a Master’s degree in South Asian Studies with a focus on Political Science and History from the University of Heidelberg and a B.A. degree in Political Science and South Asian Studies from the University of Heidelberg. Her thesis will examine the making of EU foreign policy towards India, which corresponds with her prior research interests in Indian politics and International Relations theory.
