Timon Forster

I am a post-doctoral research fellow in the School of Economics and Political Science, University of St Gallen, Switzerland.

My research focuses on the political economy of international organizations to understand global development, public health, and inequality. I am particularly interested in the micro-foundations of state action in global governance — including questions of strategic behavior by powerful member-states as well as voice and representation of relatively weaker states. I am currently working on the role of deliberation in decision-making of international organizations and the reorientation of international financial institutions towards climate change.
