Jonas Hagmann holds a PhD in Political Science from IHEID Geneva and is currently a Senior Researcher at the University of Geneva.

He investigates the contested construction of ‘threats to peace and security’ at the UN Security Council, the rationalisation of global danger through risk syllogisms, and the emergence of transnational urban security assemblages. His secondary expertise is with the sociology of International Relations, i.e., the production and dissemination of expert knowledge on world politics.
