Thomas Bolognesi

Dr. Thomas Bolognesi is an Associate Professor at Grenoble Ecole de Management, specializing in governance, socio-economic dynamics, and environmental policy. His work focuses on understanding how policy instruments and institutions interact to address challenges like water governance, regional development, and urban sustainability. He emphasizes the co-evolution of economic development and environmental systems, often using empirical designs to analyze non-linear relationships.

His research interests include institutional complexity traps, policy integration failures, and the socio-technical dimensions of public policy. He has extensively studied water resource management in Switzerland, France, and urban contexts globally. Bolognesi actively engages with societal impacts, aiming to translate academic findings into actionable policy recommendations.

Recent publications highlight his focus on environmental governance dynamics, urban water challenges, and methodology critiques in the social sciences. His work often bridges interdisciplinary approaches, combining institutional theory with empirical case studies. Awards and grants are not explicitly listed, but his research has significant policy relevance across environmental and urban sectors. He advises on governance frameworks and collaborates with international organizations, contributing to handbooks and multi-author volumes like the Routledge Handbook of Urban Water Governance.
