Justice and Novel Models of Governance

In my research on novel institutions and models of governance, I investigate normative issues that pertain to supranational and global governance. One focus has been on the project of European integration: In interdisciplinary work that marries political philosophy with political economy and economics, I have investigated, inter alia, what rights to equitable risk-sharing imply for supranational monetary cooperation, what equal opportunity rights should govern transnational labour markets, how to improve the performance of the global sovereign debt regime to ensure basic subsistence rights to the very poor, and what transnational enforcement policies may protect fundamental liberties in states threatened by authoritarian backsliding. I am presently completing a book on the political morality of supranational governance with a special focus on the European Union, focusing on welfare rights and transnational social equality as well as civic liberty protection.
