Background

Research Project:

My research addresses the following questions: (1) under what conditions does citizen discourse influence the decision-making of European foreign policy? (2) to what extent do elites take into consideration citizen discourse when making decisions and policies? and (3) how do deliberative mechanisms contribute to strengthening the relationship between the EU and its citizens?

To answer these questions, the research adopts a discursive institutionalist perspective to study the coordinative and communicative discourses at the national and EU levels and examines the substance of citizen discourse and the institutional parameters in EU member states.
