My next step? Today, I took up a post-doc at the University of Bremen. I am happy to be joining the team of Susanne Schmidt to do research on the implementation and enforcement of European internal market rules, as part of the Reconfiguring Europe project (tinyurl.com/4mmt4as9).

The list of people to thank is of course too long to list, but I am especially grateful to the jury members: my supervisors Waltraud Schelkle and Bernard Hoekman, and my external examiners @katemcnamara.bsky.social and @danmertens.bsky.social.

In the thesis, I argued that the EU’s “geo-economic turn” in trade and industrial policy is marked by more continuities with the past than is often thought — in its relation to corporate interests, globalization, the capacities of states to steer economic processes, and to European integration.

Two weeks ago, on Sept. 1st, I defended my dissertation at the @eui-eu.bsky.social. During my PhD I researched the political economy of the EU's 'geoeconomic turn', with special attention to European export finance, a growing instrument of geoeconomic interventionism.
