Maximilian Schranner studied political science, sociology and history at the University of Bonn and completed his master's degree with a thesis on how conflict actors in Yemen and Somalia deal with the corona pandemic (grade 1.1). Already in his bachelor thesis he dealt with alternative state entities such as Somaliland and the Islamic State in International Relations.
In 2021, he served as executive director (parental leave replacement) at CASSIS. He gained practical experience in academia and practice at SFB 1167 "Power and Rule - Pre-modern Configurations in Transcultural Perspective," the Federal Academy for Security Policy (BAKS), and the German Foreign Office. In May/June 2023, he was able to present and discuss his research and further expand his network as a guest lecturer (Erasmus+) at Reichman University Herzliya in Israel.

Since summer 2023, he is a doctoral fellow at the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. and a member of the International Doctoral Program "Security and Development in the 21st Century".
