Etienne Schneider is a political scientist who studied in Vienna, Berlin and Toronto. His current research focuses on the global political economy of decarbonization. He is particularly interested in how the current dynamics of geopolitical competition are changing industrial and competition policy, and what new forms of an asymmetric, 'green' international division of labour are emerging in this context. He also works on the integration of carbon dioxide removal technologies into international and European climate policy and related ‘mitigation deterrence’ effects
