Welcome to my new website.
I’m a Berlin-based writer and consultant who has been working in Germany and Eastern Europe since 1989. As a journalist, I covered the collapse of communism, Yugoslavia’s wars, and the European Union’s transformations over two decades. In addition to hundreds of articles and radio stories, I’ve authored three major books on European politics. From 2006 to 2011 I was editor of the foreign affairs journal Internationale Politik – Global Edition and the internet site IP-Global.
I was part of the postwar international administrations in Bosnia and Kosovo, including a stint as analyst for the think tank European Stability Initiative. Since then, from my Berlin homebase I’ve traveled extensively as an consultant for organizations including Germany’s GTZ, the East-West Institute, Transparency International, and other clients. My expertise includes migration, media, consumer protection, post-conflict development, governance, reconciliation, and the NGO world.
I have a new blog on the IP website called Going Renewable about Germany’s in-progress energy revolution.
