APVV-21-0237 Slovakia in European Differentiated Governance Regime, deputy chief for the IPS SAS, current position, 2022 – present.

The proposed project contributes to the growing literature on differentiated integration and identifies an analytical gap in academic research, which is a lack of focus on the implications of DI at the member state level. In addition, the project links the increasing willingness of some member states to integrate the state's nuclear powers directly with DI. The presented project tries to find answers to the following questions: which processes contribute to organizational and institutional changes, or how stability/change of institutions is maintained/achieved and possibly in what way the DI governance regime shapes Slovakia's position in the political arrangement of the EU. http://www.upv.sav.sk/granty/
