Marvin Suesse

Marvin Suesse is an Associate Professor in Economics at Trinity College Dublin and Associate Director at the Centre for Economics, Policy and History (CEPH.ie). His research focuses on economic history and international political economy, with a particular emphasis on state formation, fiscal capacity, and the global history of economic nationalism. His notable work includes the book The Nationalist Dilemma: A Global History of Economic Nationalism 1776–Present (Cambridge University Press, 2023), which examines the interplay between nationalism and economic policies across time and regions. Suesse’s research spans topics such as decolonization impacts on African fiscal systems, the role of financial institutions in late industrialization, and the political economy of state breakup, particularly in the context of the Soviet Union.

His academic contributions bridge historical analysis with contemporary issues, addressing themes like trade inequality, rural transformation, and the mediating roles of occupations in economic disparities. Suesse’s work often combines empirical methods with institutional and comparative perspectives, offering insights into how economic structures shape—and are shaped by—political and social dynamics.

While no specific grants or advising roles are detailed in the provided texts, his prolific publication record reflects engagement with interdisciplinary themes at the intersection of economics, history, and political science.
