Peer-reviewed article in International Spectator, written with Cristian Bobocea: Regional economic integration in the post-Soviet space stands in a complex relation with the European Union’s integration process. Multiple competing internal logics of integration, as well as the EU model are drivers of Eurasian regionalism. The Eurasian Economic Union illustrates how bureaucracies mobilise their technocratic authority inContinue reading “Journal article: Bureaucratic Authority and Mimesis: The Eurasian Economic Union’s Multiple Integration Logics”

Panels on the African Union at BISA Brighton and ECAS Basel

foraus-Blog: TTIP-Kritik und Brexit: Zur konstruktiven Demokratisierung Europas
In this foraus blog post in German, I plead for a pinch of pragmatism from the critics of TTIP. Much like Brexiteers, categorical anti-TTIP voices risk isolating themselves from having a real impact in the debate.

The paper then develops and evaluates different scenarios forContinue reading “Policy Brief: Scenarios for EU-Eurasian Economic Union relations”

The Brexit camp has been strategically quiet on concrete post-Brexit scenarios, while the Remain camp has warnedContinue reading “Paper: How Brexit would put EU development aid in turmoil”
Discussion paper: TTIP and Switzerland
In this discussion paper for the Swiss foreign policy think-tank foraus, I analyse the TTIP negotiations from a Swiss point of view. In a nutshell, my paper argues that TTIP is rightly facing a contentious debate, as it’s an agreement with deep-seated political implications. For Switzerland, the dilemma is between marginal economic gains, traded off against aContinue reading “Discussion paper: TTIP and Switzerland”
