Collective Securitization, Polycrisis and EU Governance

My doctoral project examines why comparable systemic risks are framed differently under conditions of polycrisis, and how EU collective securitization strategies are accepted, contested or resisted across levels of governance.

The project studies the European Commission's framing of interconnected risks and their reception within Member States. Energy-related risks are the central empirical reference point, with attention to their connections with geopolitical, environmental and economic pressures.

The research uses a comparative, mixed-methods approach involving qualitative content analysis, parliamentary text analysis and statistical modelling. The empirical scope includes EU institutions and four Member States: France, Greece, Italy and Hungary.
