Research Interests:

Anne’s work centres on the EU as a security actor, analysing how differing degrees of European integration affect the Union’s capacity to address contemporary security challenges. She scrutinises the gap between de jure and de facto integration, institutional design effects on policy processes, and the interplay between member states and EU agencies. Her fieldwork on Frontex’s Joint Operation Triton and EUNAVFOR MED Operation Sophia has yielded critical insights into EU maritime security and migration governance.
