Robert Schütze

I am a Professor of European and Global Law at Durham University, specializing in constitutional law with a particular focus on the law of the European Union and comparative federalism. Beyond the Law School, I co-founded the Global Policy Institute together with political scientist Professor David Held. I also teach at Luiss (Rome) and serve as a permanent Visiting Professor at the College of Europe in Bruges.

In the past, I have held numerous Visiting Professorships and was a Fulbright-Schuman Fellow at the Centre for European Studies at Harvard University, as well as a Braudel Senior Fellow at the European University Institute. I studied law, political science, and sociology in Germany, England, and Italy, and hold two Ph.D.s — one in European law from the European University Institute and another in political theory from the London School of Economics. I am also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and an academic associate of Cornerstone Chambers.
