Algieri has been an associate professor of International Relations at Webster Vienna Private University since August 2013.

From April 2008 to July 2013 he was director of research at the Austrian Institute for European and Security Policy (AIES). Prior to that he worked as a Research Fellow at the Institute for European Politics in Bonn (1991-1994) and at the Research Group on European Affairs, Johannes-Gutenberg University Mainz (1994-1995), and later as a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Applied Policy Research (C.A.P), Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich (1995-2008). He lectured Political Science at the Institut für Politikwissenschaft, Eberhard-Karls University Tübingen and at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich. In 2000 he was appointed Guest Professor at the School of International Studies and Senior Fellow at the Centre for European Studies, both at the Renmin University of China, Beijing. Algieri is a member of The Alphen Group (TAG): an informal network of leading strategic thinkers who have come together to consider the future of the transatlantic relationship and European security and defense and do something about it.

Algieri studied Political Science and Sinology in Freiburg, Tübingen and Taipei, and European Studies in Bruges. He received his doctorate and MA both from the Eberhard-Karls-University Tübingen, and a Diploma of Advanced European Studies from the College of Europe, Bruges. His research focus covers European and Asian security issues, the European integration process and EU-Asia relations (with special emphasis on EU-China relations). He has published widely on these topics.

Bátora’s research focuses on institutions and their change, organization theory, diplomacy, security, EU’s external relations, EU governance, and identity formation in international relations. His work was published in a number of peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of European Public Policy, West European Politics, Journal of Common Market Studies, International Relations and Cambridge Review of International Affairs.

His current research projects focus on the formation of "interstitial organizations," which are emerging in spaces between established institutional fields, tapping into resources located in various institutional fields and recombining those to form new patterns of organized action. This includes organizations such as the European External Action Service or private military corporations. Second, he studies the EU’s role in crisis management in the EU neighborhood with a particular focus on Western Balkans. Third, he analyzes the formation of “thought communities” among the publics in EU member states sharing frames and concepts of the EU as a political order. Finally, he studies processes of adaptation to governance crises in the EU’s differentiated political order.

Schubert's current research focuses on the nexus of energy policy and security at the European policy and geopolitical levels and the related foreign policies of great powers. Combining International Political Economy with key approaches of International Relations theory and Foreign Policy Analysis, he has (co)authored monographs on EU Energy Policy and articles and chapters on the resource curse, the role of energy in EU-Russia relations, economic and military developments in the Arctic, lessons learned with regard to strategic autonomy projects and role of key energy supply corridors.

His work on the resource curse and the political-developmental effects of mineral export dependence have led to several commissioned studies (1,2,3). Prior to his focus on energy security matters, Dr. Schubert focused on the empirical analysis of modern terrorism developing a framework for understanding it as a limitedly successful form of warfare for weaker forces engaged in asymmetric conflicts against large open societies.
