His work emphasizes the interplay between political discourse and institutional change, particularly in crises like the Eurozone and the 2020 pandemic. Recent publications analyze EU economic governance, policy learning, and the emergence of redistributive functions in the EU. Earlier studies explore Greek-Turkish relations, Europeanization processes in Turkey, and the resilience of Swedish social democracy.

Research trends derived from his 15 most recent publications (2020-2006) highlight the EU's role in global governance, the limitations of economic interdependence in conflict resolution, and the impact of neoliberalism on regional integration. He frequently employs historical institutionalism and discursive frameworks to assess policy shifts.
