In 2019, Professor Lindemann was nominated to the National Council of Universities (Conseil national des universités - CNU) as a titular member of Section 04 in Political Science.[3]

During this time, Lindemann was also appointed Co-Director of the Master's Degree in Global Security and Comparative Politics at the Montesquieu University.[5] In 2008, Lindemann was nominated as Professor at the University of Artois in France.[6] He is currently a Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and the Ecole Polytechnique. From 2016 to 2017, he was an Alliance Columbia University visiting professor,[7] where he presented his research on "Science, Technology, and the Logics of Preventive War".[8] Lindemann currently teaches as an Adjunct Professor at Sciences Po Paris and is also the head of the Groupe d'Etudes et de Recherche sur les Conflictualités Internationales (GERCI), a research group studying the origins of war and the symbolic dimensions of armed violence.[9]

Recognition Theory

Inspired by Hegelian Philosophy[10] and the works of Professor Charles Taylor and Professor Axel Honneth,[11] Professor Lindemann posits that identity-based recognition[12] is a critical component of the maintenance of international security and positive peace.[13] In his 2010 book on the Causes of War: The Struggle for Recognition, Lindemann demonstrated that the international system can be understood as a struggle for recognition between states. If acts of mis-recognition are at the crux of our understanding of the causes of conflict,[14] then the necessary conditions for peace can be achieved through recognition. [15] In this regard, he presented a lecture on "Iran: Internal Narratives and Real Security Challenges" at the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) in Abu Dhabi in 2013.[16] Professeur Lindemann was interviewed by on TV78 - La chaîne des Yvelines for the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I on the punitive nature of the Treaty of Versailles.[17]
