Map: the European Union.

My research program focuses on economic policies/restructuring and local embeddedness of transnational firms. I look at the emergence of regional production networks, transnational value chains, and international systems of governance.  In this regard, I study the geographies and geo-economies of the eastward enlargement of the European Union and the post-socialist transformation of Eastern Europe/Russia.
