Research

 My research focuses on the intersection of governance, policy adaptation, European Union integration, and sustainability transitions. I am particularly interested in how public institutions respond to complex policy challenges in both national and supranational contexts.

Throughout my academic studies, I have explored various aspects of governance failures, political institutions, legal frameworks, and public policy development. My work combines insights from political science, European studies, law and economics, and policy transfer theories.

• EU Sustainability Governance
   
• Multi-Level Governance (MLG) and Europeanization
   
• Policy Implementation and National Adaptation
