  • Can the past still shape the present? In my research I try to find answer to this question by focusing on historical political economy. Specifically, I look at the role of historical events and processes on the contemporary politics in Europe. Among others, I study the persistent impact of foreign media on authoritarian states, effects of exogenous protest exposure, memory politics, and lasting impacts of border changes.
