Embedded Files
My research is organised around a set of interconnected themes. Rather than treating them as separate fields, I see these as different entry points into the same broader question: how political power and political economy, institutions and democratic life transform over time.
This has led me to approach political phenomena from a complex, critical and holistic perspective, moving across levels of analysis, disciplines and methods, and connecting political economy, institutions, ideas and long-term change.
Research Areas
Research Areas
Technocracy, Expertise & Democracy
I study how expertise, depoliticisation and technocratic forms of power reshape democratic politics, political participation and state institutions.
State Transformations & Critical Political Economy
I explore how states are reconfigured through processes of neoliberalisation, crises and changing relations between political authority, evolving capitalist forms and social forces.
Europe & EU Economic Governance
I examine European integration as a political-economic process that transforms Member states, multilevel institutional architectures and national democracies. I am interested in policy processes related especially to austerity and neoliberalization.
Futures, Foresight & Anticipatory Governance
I look at how people and institutions imagine, anticipate and govern possible futures, and how foresight and anticipatory practices are increasingly becoming part of contemporary governance and policy-making.
Neo-authoritarianism
The most recent and growing strand of my research examines neo-authoritarian transformations within formally democratic systems: how exceptionalism, executive power, coercion and democratic erosion can emerge through gradual changes in institutions, political economy and governing practices.
