I am a political scientist

who works on strategic narratives, (de-)legitimization and (countering) disinformation, as well as differentiated (dis)integration, (de-)Europeanization and (de-)democratization in the European Union. My focus has been on European enlargement and neigbourhood policies, European policies of Poland and France, Brexit and EU-Turkey relations.
