Research interests
His scientific interests are about (a) spatial planning system and multi-level governance process, with a specific focus on changes, rescaling processes and new governance arenas; (b) the role of EU in developing spatial initiatives through policy instruments; (c) the analysis of territorial and socio-spatial dynamics, in particular concerning small and medium sized towns and regions with low degree of urbanisation; and (d) community-led and strategic spatial planning initiatives.
Research project.s you intend to pursue at the CEE
He will develop further his ongoing research project REGAIN (REGionalism and INstututional dynamics in the EU), financed by the Marie Curie Individual Fellowship grant. The project aims at investigating the rescaling of governance practices induced by EU-led instruments and how these affect the public action and policy. In particular, REGAIN focuses on the Community Led Local Development (CLLD) policy instrument, and its capacity to activate place-based local development strategies for tailored regions.
