He has worked over the years in both American and comparative public policy issues. Christian Breunig is professor of comparative politics at the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Konstanz.

He directs the German Policy Agendas Project which is part of the Comparative Agendas Project. Emiliano Grossman is professor of political science at Sciences Po. He teaches comparative politics and public policy at Sciences Po, where he is the convenor of the program in 'politics and public policy'.
