PHD THESIS
Title: Trade as a multidimensional policy space: How social, environmental, and geopolitical considerations shape trade policy
PhD Supervisor: Cédric Dupont
PhD CO Supervisor: Julia Cajal Grossi
Expected completion date: 2025
My research focuses on the role of social, environmental, and security concerns in trade policymaking. I am particularly interested in how these non-trade issues influence the design of different trade instruments, including free trade agreements, non-tariff measures (NTMs), and supply chain legislations.
Profile
I am a PhD candidate in International Relations and Economics (Minor) at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) in Geneva. I am also part of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) funded interdisciplinary research project on “Packaged Trade Agreements” at the Centre for Trade and Economic Integration (CTEI). I hold a MA in International Political Economy from King’s College London and a BA in Politics and Public Administration from the University of Konstanz. Prior to pursuing my PhD, I worked for the European Central Bank, the German Ministry for Economic Affairs, and private consultancies.
