Funder: OP JAK
Role: Research team member
INTERFER examines foreign interference in the context of contemporary geopolitical and technological change. The project studies how foreign interference affects public attitudes, how states adapt to such interference domestically and through foreign policy, and how technological and geo-economic developments transform the instruments through which external actors seek to exert influence.

I am a political scientist and Research Director at the Institute of International Relations Prague. My research examines European integration and EU governance, political parties and elections, politicisation, migration, and political communication, with particular attention to Central and Eastern Europe. A recurring theme in my work is how European and other politically contested issues interact with domestic political competition and are represented in political and media discourse. My research draws primarily on quantitative methods, complemented by qualitative approaches to political discourse and framing. I also teach European politics and international relations at the University of New York in Prague.
