Welcome to my home page!
The financial and fiscal crisis that has engulfed the world and many EU Member States in particular has prompted calls for constitutional reforms introducing the requirement of balanced budgets for EU members. With Mark Hallerberg I am organising a workshop on the political and institutional implications of this requirement. The workshop, which will be held at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin next January, will bring together budget experts from a number of European countries. Stay tuned for more details...
My research focuses on the changes in the structure and composition of governments, in particular in the context of European integration. I have published articles in journals such as Governance, Journal of European Public Policy and Public Administration as well book chapters and working papers.
I am currently working on several projects:
- The Politics of Fiscal Federalism in Italy (with Mark Hallerberg)
- The Domestic Impact of the Lisbon Strategy: The Time Dimension (with Fabrizio Di Mascio and Alessandro Natalini)
- European Integration and the Formateur Advantage
- Second-Order Elections and Government Stability in the European Union
I am a member of a number of professional associations and research networks: American Political Science Association, European Union Studies Association, Council for European Studies, Midwest Political Science Association, Political Studies Association, Structure and Organisation of Government Research Netwrok, The Selection and Deselection of Political Elites Research Network
