Hanna Muehlenhoff

Dr. Hanna Muehlenhoff is a Lecturer in the Department of European Studies at the University of Amsterdam's Faculty of Humanities. Her research focuses on EU democracy promotion, human rights policies, gender and security frameworks, and critical analyses of EU-Turkey relations. She authored the book *EU Democracy Promotion and Governmentality: Turkey and Beyond* (2019), examining how EU civil society funding shapes politicization dynamics in contested contexts like Turkey's women's rights, LGBT rights, and Kurdish rights movements.

Her work critiques neoliberal and liberal governmentality in EU external policies, emphasizing intersectional and feminist perspectives. Notable research areas include EU militarism, feminist approaches to security, and decolonizing methodologies. Muehlenhoff has contributed to journals like the *International Feminist Journal of Politics* and frequently engages with policy analysis through book reviews and edited volumes.

Publications highlight tensions between EU security strategies and marginalized communities, questioning militarization trends in EU defense policies and their gendered impacts. Her recent work critiques EU's 'muscular militarism' post-2020 and analyzes Dutch implementation of UNSCR 1325 through a governmental/racial lens.
