Presentation

I am Associate Professor in International Political Economy and study financial governance and how transnational policy communities shape regulatory practices. In relation to this research, I am completing work on a small project on expert networks in economic governance funded by the Institute for New Economic Thinking. I am also developing work on how professional networks address complex global issues, with a focus on demographic change in OECD countries. In the period 2015- 2018, I was actively involved in a Horizon 2020 project on ''European Legitimacy in Governing through Hard Times: The Role of European Networks'', leading the work package on ''Youth Employment and Inclusive Growth'' which addresses issues related to labour, skills and demographic trends in the European Union. For the period 2018-2021, I am also involved in a project funded by the Norwegian Research Council on the role of consultants and experts in the definition of implementation of banking regulation standards.

I am the CBS representative in the Horizon 2020 double degree doctoral programme GEM-STONES. I am the teaching coordinator of the Department of Business and Politics and sit on the study board of the Sociology and Business Administration BSc programme.

I serve on the Editorial Board of the RIPE/Routledge series in Global Political Economy and I am a convenor of the network on ‘Regulation and Governance’ of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics. I am also a Senior Associate Fellow in the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation of the University of Warwick.
