Writing
Next to my academic research, I regularly write analyses and opinion pieces for international media outlets. My articles have previously appeared in the New Eastern Europe Magazine, The Diplomat, Visegrad Insight, Social Europe and the Austrian Institute for European and Security Policy (AIES), among others. I am also a current contributing writer to the Hungarian Observer, an English-language newsletter on Hungarian politics, culture and current affairs.
Below, you find an overview of my ongoing academic research, conference presentations and non-academic publications.
