His current research explores the relationships emerging across post-communist Europe between business, parties and the state. He is also keenly interested in reconciliation after political transformations, state-building, the politics of memory, lobbying, legislative stability, the implications of small worlds for transitions, and the use of new technologies in political research, including machine assisted content analysis, computer assisted coding and social network analysis. His dissertation explored the effects of different types of business networks and political party competition on state building in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
