I have been working in the following areas of research:
1. Legal Philosophy
– The Concept of Legal Order in a Global Setting
– Theories of Constituent Power
– Legal Authority
– Transnational Constitutionalism
– Immigration and the EU’s “Area of Freedom, Security and Justice”
2. Political Philosophy
– Theories of Political Agonism
– Political Representation and Democracy
– Beyond Cosmopolitanism and Communitarianism
– Politics and Indexicals
– Collective identity (ipse/idem) and difference (the other/strangeness)
I am happy to draw on (post-)phenomenological philosophy (Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Ricoeur, Waldenfels) and on theories of collective action of analytical provenance (Gilbert, Pettit, Bratman) when dealing with these issues. I am also particularly interested in the thinking of and debate between Hans Kelsen and Carl Schmitt.
