Larres is a German-born historian and political scientist, currently the Richard M. Krasno Distinguished Professor at University of North Carolina, and also an author. Larres was educated at the University of Cologne and the London School of Economics and Political Science. Before moving to the United States, Larres spent almost 18 years in the United Kingdom. Along with previously holding the Henry A. Kissinger Chair in Foreign Policy and International Relations at Library of Congress, he is a member of the Royal Historical Society, International Institute for Strategic Studies and American Academy of Political and Social Science. Klaus Larres is an expert on contemporary U.S. and German/EU foreign, economic, and security policies toward the transatlantic world and China and S.E. Asia. He writes and lectures on post-Cold War geopolitics, U.S. foreign policy, European integration, and the complex interactions that shape the triangle US-EU/Germany-China. He also has a great interest in the history of the Cold War and the politics of Winston Churchill. In short, Larres’ major research interests are threefold: 1. Current U.S. and EU/German economic and security policies toward China and S.E. Asia; 2. Transatlantic relations, U.S., German and British foreign policy, and European integration; and 3. International history of the 20th century, in particular the Cold War and the politics of Winston Churchill. More
