I am currently working on two research projects. The first, entitled “Governing the Just Transition” is devoted to the analisys of just transition politics and policies in the European Union, with particular reference to the EU level and to local cases selected in six countries (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden). The second project, entitled “Making Food Democracy”, is devoted to the analysis  of sustainable urban food policies and strategies in ten municipalities in five European countries (England, France, Italy, Spain and Sweden).  

Furthermore, I am currently working on two book projects and a Special Issue: the first (a monograph) is tentatively entitled “Crises, Leadership and Neopopulisms in the European Union”, and the second (co-edited with Ekaterina Domorenok and Katharina Zimmermann) is entitled “The Eco-Social Nexus: Theoretical, Conceptual and Policy Issues” (to be submitted to Policy Press). The Special Issue is for Regulation & Governance and us entitled “Bringing the Ecological and the Social Together in the Green Transition. A Multilevel Analysis”.
