He has authored and co-authored more than thirty books and papers on modern German, European and international history,[3] including works in English published by Cambridge University Press.[4] His interviews and writing have appeared in German news magazine Der Spiegel.[2][5]

His book The Search for Security (German: Die Suche nach Sicherheit)[6] garnered him the prize for promoting the translation of humanities works by the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels in 2009.[7]
