Forschungsinteressen und Publikationen

My research focuses on the European integration process, European Union politics, and particularly the external relations of the EU. My most recent work concentrates on European Culture and Science diplomacy (article under preparation with Petra Guasti), the role of the EU as a mediator in international peace negotiations (project and JCMS article with Julian Bergmann), and theorising the euro crisis (co-edited special issue of Journal of European Public Policy). My previous work has dealt with the role of the EU in (external) policy-making fields such as climate change and international migration, where I have particularly analysed aspects of effectiveness and normative power of the EU. My PhD (and some subsequent work) has analysed, modified and applied neofunctionalism to various aspects of EU policy-making.

Drittmittelprojekte (Auswahl)

The research project “The Identity Effect of Europeanised Lifeworlds: Becoming European through Football? (EUFoot)” aims to explore the importance of everyday activities, i.e. football fandom and spectatorship for the formation of a European identity.

Research on European identity paid rather little attention to the sport-related and supposedly non-political activities of football fandom. This is astonishing, given that the “global game” is played all over Europe, increasingly often through European wide competitions such as the Champions league and the Europa league. Player markets and football club activities reach beyond national borders. Our project examines the extent to which a Europeanisation of football fans’ perceptions and identities has taken place in times of Europeanised player markets, competitions and football governance structures.

We use a multi-method research strategy. The combination of comparative analysis and triangulation of data obtained through discourse analysis, survey research and in-depth interviews serves us to answer our main research question: To what extent are identities of football fans across Europe “Europeanised”? Any such Europeanised patterns of identification, nurtured in a lifeworldly context of activities are of both scientific and political relevance. Identity-formation in everyday (supposedly non-political) transboundary contexts is still under-researched. We will investigate the formation of identification patterns in non-elite discourses in several countries across Europe.

Research Project: 'A Peacemaker in the Making? The European Union as an Actor in International Mediation'

This project investigates the EU’s role as mediator in peace negotiations. The research project pursues three main objectives. First, we aim to better understand how and in what ways the EU has been involved in international mediation activities. Second, we assess the extent to which the EU constitutes an effective mediator in peace negotiations. Third, we seek to explain different degrees of EU mediator effectiveness. In addition, an important objective of this project is to use the insights gained from the analytical and explanatory components of the project as a basis for knowledge transfer from science to practice, and to establish a policy dialogue with relevant actors.

The project is funded through a 100.000 € grant by the Funded by the German Foundation for Peace Research (Deutsche Stiftung Friedensforschung, DSF) and runs from February 2015 to January 2017.
