My research focuses on competition, European competition regulation and comparative and global political economy. My main theoretical project is the development of a critical political economy perspective on regulatory change in delineated issue areas.In a recently published book titled The Politics of European Competition Regulation (co-authored with A. Wigger) this perspective is put to work in a study of the historical transformation of capitalism and competition regulation in Europe.

Primary research areas

European competition regulation
Global and comparative political economy
Critical political economy perspectives
Capitalism, neoliberalism and regulation
The history, institutions and political economy of the European Union
Theories of regional integration
Philosophies of social science, especially critical realism
