Summary

Anni Roth Hjermann is a PhD fellow at the University of Cambridge, where she is working on a monograph provisionally entitled The global politics of scapegoating: Russia’s ambivalent contestation of the international social order 1999-2022. At NUPI, Anni works in the Research group for Russia, Asia and interntational trade.

Anni is broadly interested in social and political theory of global politics, especially on stratified international orders and their contestation, ideals of statehood and sovereignty, and (interactions between) states’ identity narratives. Her empirical work is focused on Russia and the former Soviet Union.

Anni has researched and published on Russia-NATO security relations (in Arctic Review on Law and Politics) and on Russian authoritarianism and its internal-external dynamics (in New Perspectives and Internasjonal Politikk). Anni is also the former co-Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed IR journal Cambridge Review of International Affairs (CRIA).
