Area of expertise
European Affairs
EU policies and how they are negotiated, implemented and experienced in member states.
The European Union shapes most policy fields which influence our lives. We follow EU policies on migration and asylum, enlargement and neighbourhood, external action and development cooperation.
We are interested in what happens between Brussels and national capitals: how positions are formed, how common rules are applied in practice, and how citizens experience the results. Romania’s place on the Union’s Eastern border, next to the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, gives this work a clear regional anchor.
Our aim is to make European policy easier to understand and debate for specialists and the wider public alike.
