Gün Güley

Gün Güley is a political theorist with academic appointments as an Adjunct Professor of International Relations and Political Theory at Hult International Business School, and as a lecturer at both the University of Hamburg and Leuphana University.

Her educational background includes a PhD in Political Theory from the University of Hamburg, where her dissertation Denizenship and its Discontents: Immigration, Citizenship, and Voting Rights in the Era of Cosmopolitan Nationalism examined voting rights exclusions for non-citizen residents in liberal democracies.

Dr. Güley specializes in Citizenship Studies, Voting Rights, Immigration Policy, Democratic Theory, and Political Philosophy. She developed the All Stakeholder Principle—a denationalized adaptation of Rainer Bauböck’s framework—to ground non-citizen voting claims in legislative decisions. Current research focuses on separating legislative/constitutional demoi and refining normative conceptions of citizenship, identity, and inclusion for a Theory of Stakeholder Membership.

She is presently finalizing a book manuscript expanding her dissertation work, with no documented scientific awards, student supervision, or laboratory affiliations.
