My research topic on the history of European integration is connected to my teaching - this course I have been teaching for many years is backed by the textbook I wrote with Boglárka Koller and its third edition was published in 2023. I research other EU related areas, different policy areas from a Central and Eastern European perspective. The topic of civil society comes from my Ph.D dissertation - at that time I explored the relations between social parters and the European Union - a topic that I expanded to other non-governmental actors and conceptual issues as well.
