Inken von Borzyskowski has been a Professor of International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) at the University of Oxford’s St. Catherine’s College since 2023. She is also a Co-Convener of the DPIR Colloquium and a Fellow of St. Catherine’s College.

Previously she served as an Assistant Professor of Political Science at University College London and Florida State University. Her research focuses on the domestic politics of international relations, with an emphasis on international organizations and their influence on domestic conflicts and elections. Specifically, her research spans three areas: international democracy promotion, the causes and consequences of election-related violence and the membership politics of international organizations (withdrawals and suspensions).

In her book “The Credibility Challenge: How Democracy Aid Influences Election Violence” published by Cornell University Press in 2019, Inken develops and tests a theory of how international organizations can influence election violence by shaping the credibility of elections. Her research has been published in journals such as International Studies Quarterly, British Journal of Political Science, Journal of Peace Research, Review of International Organizations and by Cornell University Press.

Inken obtained her PhD in International Relations, Methodology and Comparative Politics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, spending a year at Duke University. Originally from Berlin, she received a postdoctoral research fellowship and previously her masters’s degree from the Free University of Berlin, and worked at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center. She has been a visiting fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) in Washington D.C. and a consultant at the US Institute of Peace (USIP).
