I am an expert on EU and Russian foreign policy, EU-Russia relations, Eastern Europe, international relations, the European public sphere or international political communication. Before coming to Aston UniversityLSE I held research positions at the London School of Economics, Trinity College Dublin and the College of Europe (Natolin campus, ENP Chair). My book on ‘EU Foreign Policy Analysis: Democratic Legitimacy, Media, and Climate Change’ will be published in June by Palgrave. I am currently working on a book on EU-Russia relations during Putin's third term and a project on the European Parliament's approach towards the post-Soviet space and Russia.
