Kalypso Aude Nicolaïdis is Professor of International Relations and Director of the European Studies Centre at Oxford University. She teaches in the areas of European integration, international relations, international political economy
, negotiation and game theory and research methods as University Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations.
Before moving back to Europe, she taught European affairs and international relations at Harvard University
where she was associate professor at the Kennedy School of Government. She has also held visiting professorships around Europe, including at the École nationale d'administration
in Paris, at the College of Europe
in Bruges
as the professorial chair on Visions of Europe and in Sciences-Po, Paris
as Vincent Wright chair.
At Harvard, she was the founder and chair of the Kokkalis Programme on Southeast Europe and is now Chair of the South East European Studies at Oxford (SEESOX) which runs, inter alia, the Greek-Turkish Network. At Oxford, she also chairs the RENEW programme (Rethinking Europe in a Non European World), the Euro-Mediterranean network RAMSES, coordinated by the Maison Mediterranéenne des Sciences de l'Homme in Aix en Provence, and the EU-WTO Oxford programme in collaboration with the German Marshall Fund.
Professor Nicolaïdis has been involved in policy for some time. She has been advising Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou on European affairs since 1996 and chaired the International Group of Expert Advisors on the Convention for the Future of Europe and the Greek Presidency. She was advisor to the Dutch presidency of the EU on the theme of "Europe: a Beautiful Idea", a policy-academia dialogue culminating in the December 2004 intellectual summit. Nicolaïdis has also worked with the European Commission on the White Paper on Governance (subsidiarity, global governance), on DG trade and DG communication consultations, as well as a trade and regulation expert for UNCTAD and the OECD. Most recently, she produced a report on the European Neighborhood Policy for the European Parliament.
Much of Nicolaïdis' recent work focuses on "European demoi-cracy" and the challenge of building an EU of deep diversity through the mutual recognition of identities, polities, and socio-economic rules. She has published widely on EU institutional and constitutional debates, EU external relations including with Mediterranean countries and the United States, issues of identity, justice and cooperation in the international system, the sources of legitimacy in European and global governance, the relationship between trade and regulation, trade in services as well as preventive diplomacy and dispute resolution. She has published in numerous journals including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The Journal of Common Market Studies, Journal of European Public Policy, International Organization as well as in French in Politique Etrangere, Politique Européenne and Raison Critique. Her latest books include: Whose Europe? National Models and the Constitution of the European Union (Oxford University Press, 2003) and The Federal Vision: Legitimacy and Levels of Governance in the US and the EU (Oxford University Press, 2001).
Nicolaïdis holds a Ph.D. in Political Economy and Government from Harvard University, a Master in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government, a Master in International Economics and a Diplome Service Public from the Institut d'études politiques
in Paris. She also studied law and philosophy at the Paris I-Sorbonne. She is of French and Greek
