I am interested in day-to-day migration and border control in the European Union. My research focuses on actors and organizations that put control into action and I tackle this topic from the point of view of policy studies. I question implementation practices by paying particular attention to the circulation of knowledge across levels of policy-making, transnational actors and transnational dynamics of policy change, the involvement of non-state actors in the functions of governments.
