Charles Yockey

Charles Yockey is a policy analyst within the Manhattan Institute’s Centers for Legal Affairs and Constitutional Studies. In Budapest, he is a visiting researcher within Mathias Corvinus Collegium’s Center for International Law.

In the past, Yockey has worked in both the public and private sectors—he has held public policy fellowships, worked in investment banks, aided a federal prosecutor, and interned as a speechwriter for a U.S. Senator. In the future, he intends to attend law school in the United States. He aspires to promote greater transatlantic understanding by facilitating collaboration between the public and private sectors as a diplomat, financier, or policymaker.

I’m looking especially forward to studying Central and Eastern European history, immersing myself in Hungary’s rich cultural and linguistic heritage, and deepening my appreciation of the region’s strategic and geopolitical importance. – Charles Yockey

Yockey graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Notre Dame’s Program of Liberal Studies and holds an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History from Cambridge. In graduate school, Yockey explored the normative suppositions that belied sovereign debt remediation efforts in the interwar period. In Budapest he intends to expound contemporaneously on this scholarship by researching the political thought of István Hont, the effect of European integration on Hungary’s two-tiered banking system, and Kádárism’s influence on Central European political economy.
