My main research interests lie in the area of European Integration and Europeanisation. In particular, I am interested in public discourses on European policy issues and the diffusion and appropriation of European ideas and values. In my PhD project I investigate the impact of European policy ideas on national media discourses in Spain and Germany using the example of the Common Agricultural Policy. Thereby, I particularly aim to explore the manifold, path-dependent responses to Europeanisation that emerge within discursive negotiation processes over the legitimate agricultural policy in Europe.
