Research interests
My research straddles comparative and international politics, with a special focus on key topics in political economy, public policy and institutional analysis. I am currently working on debates surrounding global capitalism and capitalist diversity, including a book on Global Varieties of Capitalism (under contract with Palgrave Macmillan). I am also involved with collaborative research projects on populism and business elites, comparative social democracy, and the role of China in Europe (with a special emphasis on public diplomacy and soft power). More generally, I have a long-standing interest in Russian and East-Central European politics, especially questions related to nationalism, political legitimacy and political regimes. In other published work, I have studied post-communist economic policy-making and capitalist institutions.
