Who wins and who loses in the world eco­nomy? And why?

I study transnational governance, with a recurrent focus on financial governance and the role of expert networks. Empirically, I work primarily on financial policy networks, and on compliance practices and anti-money laundering. I am also developing work on how different expert networks contribute to market emergence and cross-border governance in reproductive health provision and on the developing ecosystem of private investment in women’s health. 

  
I am currently the CBS Principal Investigator of a European Commission Horizon Europe programme grant: ‘NAVIGATOR: The EU Navigating Multilateral Cooperation’. Other research has been supported by the Velux Foundation, the Norwegian Research Council and the Horizon 2020 programme. 

 
At CBS, I am on the Global Relations study board. I am also a mentor and supervisor to Assistant Professors as part of the Higher Education Teaching Excellence Programme. 
 

I am an Editor of Socio-Economic Review and serve on the International Advisory Board of the Review of International Political Economy.

European Com­mis­sion Ho­ri­zon Europe pro­gramme grant
How should the EU shall nav­ig­ate the in­creas­ingly com­plex – and con­flict-laden – in­sti­tu­tion­al spaces of glob­al gov­ernance to ad­vance a rules-based in­ter­na­tion­al or­der? What factors should be em­phas­ized when con­sid­er­ing which in­sti­tu­tions to strengthen, which to re­form, and which to by-pass when re­vital­iz­ing mul­ti­lat­er­al­ism?

NAV­IG­AT­OR’s main ob­ject­ive is to provide an­swer to these ques­tions. The CBS team looks spe­cific­ally at the is­sue areas of green fin­ance and cross-bor­der fin­an­cial flows
