State Size and Securitization Capacity: Comparative Evidence from Cyprus, Greece, and Italy
Comparative research on the relationship between state size and securitization capacity.
I am a PhD Candidate in Politics in the Department of Political Economy at King's College London. I am also a Doctoral Affiliate at the LSE Hellenic Observatory Centre for Research on Contemporary Greece and Cyprus. My broader research focuses on crisis politics, polycrisis, securitisation, comparative politics and computational social sciences.
My doctoral research focuses on collective securitization under conditions of polycrisis. In particular, it seeks to develop a multi-level, comparative framework for analysing securitisation across levels of governance in the context of entangled crises, with the aim of advancing our understanding of critical challenges in crisis management, offering novel insights into fostering cohesive and effective collective responses. My broader research also seeks to explore and further advance the application of large language models in academic research.
