Senior Lecturer
Madalina Busuioc is Senior Lecturer in Politics at the Department of Politics, University of Exeter. She is also a research associate at the Centre for Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR) of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Prior to joining Exeter, she was Fellow in Risk and Regulation at LSE (2012-2014) and Assistant Professor at the Amsterdam Centre for European Law and Governance (2009-2012).
Her main research interests are in the area of multi-level (risk) regulation and governance, with a particular emphasis on the study of bureaucratic agencies operating both at the national and EU levels, public accountability, agency independence and the institutional design, and practices, of multi-level co-operation. On the theoretical front, she has a keen interest in reputational approaches, delegation theory and theories of political control. Her most recent work draws on reputational approaches to study and theorise about their implications for our understanding of public accountability and theories of political control.
Her research interests are closely aligned with her teaching at Exeter: in addition to teaching in the MPA programme, she teaches courses on bureaucratic politics as well as on regulation.
Dr Busuioc is the author of European Agencies: Law and Practices of Accountability published by Oxford University Press in 2013 and the author of articles in the Journal of Public Administration, Research and Theory, Public Administration Review, Public Administration, Governance, Regulation &Governance, Journal of European Public Policy.
