CURRICULUM VITAE:

AXEL MARX

Currently Deputy Director Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies, KU Leuven. The Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies is an interdisciplinary research centre of the Humanities and Social Sciences at the KU Leuven (University of Leuven) The Centre was founded in 2007 and I have been involved as a research manager and senior researcher since its foundation. It was set up to promote, support and carry out high-quality international, innovative and interdisciplinary research on global governance. In addition to its fundamental research activities the Centre carries out independent applied research and offers innovative policy advice and solutions to policy-makers on multilateral governance and global public policy issues. Since 2010, the Centre has been recognized as a KU Leuven Centre of Excellence and acts as the Policy Research Centre for the Flemish government since 2012. The Centre promotes pioneering projects in law, economics and political science and actively initiates and encourages interdisciplinary, cross-cutting research initiatives in pursuit of solutions to real world problems. In full recognition of the complex issues involved, the Centre approaches global governance from a multi-level and multi-actor perspective. GGS considers non-European perspectives to global governance of great importance. It hosts the InBev-Baillet Latour EU-China Chair and the Leuven India Focus, organizes regularly transatlantic conferences and events focusing on Latin America, and takes a keen interest in the Global South. In addition to its fundamental research, GGS carries out independent applied research and advises policy-makers on multilateral governance and global public policy issues. It regularly organizes conferences, seminars and debates on these issues, including a summer school. It works with academic and policy partners from all over the world, including the European Parliament, the European Commission, the European External Action Service, the Committee of the Regions, the OECD, ILO, UNIDO, UNCTAD, the World Bank and the WTO. The Centre currently employs more than 30 full time in-house staff and researchers. As a research manager and researcher I have managed over 20 funded research projects including multi-team and international projects. I have acted as a consultant to several national and international organizations including the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Committee of the Regions, International Labour Organization and United Nations Industrial Development Organization. My academic publications have appeared in three dozen international peer reviewed journals. I am regular reviewer for several leading academic journals. My research interests include voluntary sustainability standards, human rights, global governance, governance through trade and comparative case methods.
