Quynh Nguyen is a research fellow at the German Development Institute and a research associate and external lecturer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). A key puzzle of her research is concerned with the socio-economic impact of international integration and how these new realities shape citizens' support for international trade. In addition to the analysis of individuals' perception, Quynh is also interested in examining state actors' preferences and their behavior in the international trading regime, especially in the context of trade negotiations. She has also examined how diverging interests surrounding the trade-environment linkage are addressed at the international level, and to what extent trade can facilitate greater cooperation in addressing environmental degradation and climate change issues. Quynh received her PhD in International Relations and International Political Economy from ETH Zurich. During her doctoral studies, she was a visiting fellow at Georgetown University in Washington; DC. She has a joint Master's degree in Comparative and International Studies from the ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich.
