Biography


Anna Meine is a postdoctoral researcher within the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Siegen, Germany. She works in democratic theory and international political theory, with her research focusing on questions of democratic institution-building in and beyond the state, more particularly on issues or legitimacy, democratic self-determination and citizenship, as well as political independence. 

In her doctoral dissertation Komplementäre Bürgerschaften. Demokratische Selbstbestimmung in transnationalen Ordnungen (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany), she discusses possibilities and challenges of multiple complementary citizenships in and beyond the state. She has also published "Debating legitimacy transnationally" (2016) in Global Discourse and "Democracy and Territory" (2019) in Critical Review of Social and Political Philosophy. More recently, her work focuses on the notion of political independence and union as well as the European independence movements.
