PhD project
In my PhD project, I use process tracing to understand why the EU failed to effectively reform the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). From the beginning, the EU was aware of the weaknesses of its ETS but the periodic reforms did not correct these shortcomings. My project aims at understanding how the legitimacy crisis that might have emerged from the financial crisis has prevented the EU from responding appropriately.
About me
After my studies in European politics and human rights law, I worked for the Ligue des droits de l'Homme in Brussels. I also spent two years as an assistant teacher in political science and international relations at the Université Saint-Louis.
