Jan-Werner Müller teaches in the Politics Department at Princeton University. Much of his recent work in political theory and in the history of political thought has focused on sovereignty, constitutionalism, and democracy, especially in a European context. He has recently completed a book entitled Constitutional Patriotism, which is forthcoming from Princeton University Press; he is also a guest editor for I-CON's special issue on constitutional patriotism.

Professor Müller is the author of A Dangerous Mind: Carl Schmitt in Post-War European Thought (Yale University Press, 2003; German, French and Chinese translations) and Another Country: German Intellectuals, Unification and National Identity(Yale University Press, 2000; Chinese translation). In addition, he has edited German Ideologies since 1945: Studies in the Political Thought and Culture of the Bonn Republic (Palgrave, 2003) and Memory and Power in Post-War Europe: Studies in the Presence of the Past (Cambridge UP, 2002).

He has been a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Budapest, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, and a Prize Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford; he has also been a visiting professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris.
