Ikonomou from the University of Copenhagen.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this talk postdoc Marine Pierre (UCPH) and tenure track assistant professor Haakon A. Ikonomou (UCPH) will show how they use prosopography and biography to open up the black box of international public administrations, spanning from the League of Nations and the UN, via NATO and the OECD, to the European Parliament. The aim is to display how prosopographical databases and digital prosopography provide a \u201cmeso-level\u201d of analysis, that allow us to connect the political and institutional layer of international organizations (macro) to the professional agency and worldview of individual officials (micro). This, in turn, recasts our understanding of how policies are conceived, institutionalized, and practiced in IOs. The talk will feature several concrete examples from recent and ongoing research, reflecting also on the challenges and limitations of such an approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marine Pierre<\/strong> is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Saxo Institute (University of Copenhagen), working on the project \u00ab Autonomy and Expertise in International Administrations, 1940s-1970s&nbsp;\u00bb, led by Prof. Haakon A.
