Main fields of interest
Sandra is studying regulatory politics in the European context, with a major focus on the political economy of regulatory reform and delegation to non-majoritarian institutions. More broadly speaking, Sandra is interested in explaining emerging governance regimes in formerly public sectors. Empirically, the focus Is on energy policy and the postal sector. Sandra has also conducted research on industry self-regulation in the field of environment.
