Claudia Horn, PhD
Claudia Horn completed her Ph.D. in International Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her book manuscript, The Environment for Finance. How International Projects Shape Land and Rights in the Brazilian Amazon, is under revision and projected for publication in 2026. It critically examines G7 environmental aid to Brazil’s Amazon and the building and local contestations of institutional and technological structures for green economies, including carbon markets. Her upcoming book examines Rosa Luxemburg’s ecological critique of capitalism. She also holds two master’s degrees in sociology from the New School for Social Research and the Technical University of Dresden, and her interdisciplinary research links international environmental politics, agrarian studies, and development studies. Between 2018 and 2023, Claudia Horn researched based in Belém, Pará, Brazil, where she also worked for the city government.
