Education and career

edit

Köllner earned his doctorate degree with Michael Kreile at the Humboldt University of Berlin on South Korea's technological dependence on Japan. In 2005, he habilitated at the University of Trier. From 1996 to 2007, he worked as a research associate at the GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies, responsible for politics in Japan and politics and economy on the Korean peninsula.[1][2]

He has been chairman of the Hamburg Foundation Asia Bridge since 2005. From 2007 to 2011, he was acting director of the GIGA Institute for Asian Studies. He has been director since July 2011 and vice president of the GIGA Institute for Asian Studies since 2017.[3][4][5]

Köllner is an expert on political developments in Korea. He researches Japanese, Korean and Australian domestic politics, authoritarian regimes in international comparison and has published on parties and elections in Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.[6][7]

He is one of the organisers of the Franco-German Observatory of the Indo-Pacific, an observatory "which invites key actors from the Indo-Pacific to present their vision of the region" and host debates about "questions of economic interdependence and independence, of trade and investment, and the expectations the countries of the Indo-Pacific might have towards the “West” in general, and Europe, in particular".[8]
