Sophie Meunier (born c. 1967 in Paris, France[1]) is a senior research scholar in Public and International Affairs at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs (formerly known as the Woodrow Wilson School). She is the Director of Princeton's Program in Contemporary European Politics and Society and the Co-director of the European Union Program at Princeton, which she founded with Andrew Moravcsik.[2] She also served as Acting Director[3] of the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination at Princeton (2023-2024). She was elected Chair of the European Union Studies Association,[4] the world's premier scholarly association for the study of the European Union and the process of European integration[5] (2023-2024). A Franco-American political scientist, she is an expert in European integration, the politics of European trade and investment policy,[6] and the politics of anti-Americanism.[7][8] Meunier is a faculty fellow in Yeh College at Princeton University.

Her first book, The French Challenge: Adapting to Globalization (Brookings Institution Press, 2001), co-written with Philip H. Gordon, won the 2002 France-Ameriques Book Award.[9][10] Paul Krugman called it "a terrific book, especially for those of us who were wondering how France manages to thrive in the very global economy it denounces".[11] Her second book, Trading Voices: The European Union in International Commercial Negotiations (Princeton University Press, 2005), has been praised by Pascal Lamy as "the first authoritative study of the trade policy of the European Union".[12]

She has published many articles in academic journals, as well as in magazines and newspapers such as Foreign Affairs,[13][14] Foreign Policy,[15] Le Monde, Le Figaro, and The Huffington Post.[16]

Meunier has been actively involved in promoting the study of the European Union in the United States. She has been secretary of the European Union Studies Association and vice-chair (2021-2023), before being Chair of EUSA (2023-2024). She is a former elected member of the executive committee of the Council for European Studies, the leading academic organization for the study of Europe, with a membership of more than 100 institutions and 1,000 individuals.[17] She was the co-chair of the 2010 Conference Program Committee of the Council for European Studies in Montreal, April 15–17, 2010. She was also elected on the board of the European Union Studies Association (2003–2007) and was secretary of this association (2005–2007).

She received her BA in political science from Sciences Po Paris and her Ph.D. in political science from M.I.T. She was named Chevalier de l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques by the French government in 2011 [18] and currently resides in Princeton, New Jersey.

Research contributions

[edit]

Meunier's theoretical and empirical research studies the politics of globalization, notably the interactions between European integration and globalization and their impact on international institutions and domestic politics. She has analyzed both how economic globalization challenges politics in the European Union and how European countries have reacted to, adapted to, and in turn shaped globalization. Her most well-known contributions are the following:
