Subject
- Interest Groups and Lobbying
- Labour Market Policies
- Policy Analysis
- Europeanization
My current research is on the strategies of organized interests within the multi-level system of the European Union, as well as on the challenges and opportunities regarding the mobilization of so-called weak interests —particularly of the unemployed.
Furthermore, I study labor market policy (with a primary focus on Germany) from the perspectives of policy analysis and institutionalism. My current research focuses specifically on how narratives and perceptions of welfare deservingness shape reform processes.
