Currently preparing a volume on the trajectory of democratic transition in Poland. Based on my archive of interviews with key actors recorded at different critical junctures since 1980, this project will examine key issues and episodes from the perspective of the major players. I am currently conducting in depth interviews with politicians, academics and other key actors previously interviewed as well as updating my archive with new interviews.
Research interests:
- Democratization and transition
- East European politics
- Judicial intervention and Irish Politics
