Lingkai (Jose) Kong
I am a Researcher in the Department of Political Science and International Relations, Izmir University of Economics, Turkey, under the chair of Department Head Prof. Dr. Devrim Sezer.
My research interests center around federalism and extend into multiple branches including political philosophy/theory, anarchism, Chinese politics and history. Specifically, my current research projects involve: Calvinist theologian and federalist scholar Johannes Althusius, anarchist and federalist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Austro-Marxist and federalist Karl Renner, contemporary philosopher Hannah Arendt, contemporary federal and federal-like states such as Spain, Belgium and Canada. These topics involve discussions of multi-ethnic coexistence, pluralism, nationalism, asymmetrical federation, and non-territorial federal institutions. I am also interested in exploring the embodiment of federalism in the medieval European tradition and in Chinese history. I also conduct research on Eastern religion and philosophy.
I speak Chinese (native), English (C1), Spanish (B2) and very little Turkish.
