"EU Energy Policy in the Post-Maastricht Era: A Case for New Intergovernmentalism?".

Brief overview of research topic:

His research looks at the interplay between the EU’s supranational and intergovernmental bodies, focusing on the three main branches of EU energy policy: the internal energy market, security of supply and climate change.

His other research interests include Europeanisation and EU enlargement.
