Past reserach

My past work spans research on national and European identity, the interdependence of European Integrationa and Postsocialist Transformation, the cross-national comparability of survey measures , and welfare-state typologies, as well as contributions to studies on child abuse, on women who inject drugs, the evaluation of parenting interventions, and studies into nutritional supplementation with Omega-3 fatty acids.
