His research focuses on how advanced capitalist states navigate democratic systems, particularly through comparative-historical analysis of referendums (e.g., 1970s UK), constitutional change, and authoritarian neoliberalism. He explores the interplay between global economic pressures and domestic policy shifts, such as Brexit and post-2016 reforms.
