I am a social scientist interested in political economy, international affairs, and global health and development. Currently, I am associate professor of political economy and sociology at Bocconi University. Before moving to Milan, I held research posts at Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard.
My research focuses on two overarching topics: global social protection, and decision-making in global governance. I have co-authored two books and published over 50 articles in leading social science journals. This research has received attention by many media outlets, including the New York Times, Le Monde, El País, Reuters, and the BBC. In addition, it formed the basis of parliamentary questions in the UK and in the European Parliament. In recognition of my work, I have received the Henrik Enderlein Prize for Research Excellence in the Social Sciences, as well as multiple awards from professional associations. Beyond my academic work, I am vice-president of Greece's National Centre for Social Solidarity, one of the country's leading social policy institutions. I have also worked as a consultant to various international, public and non-governmental organizations, including the World Health Organization, the German Ministry of International Cooperation and Development, Oxfam International, Recourse Foundation, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. |

A Thousand Cuts: Social Protection in the Age of Austerity provides a comprehensive analysis of IMF policies around the world. Based on novel data from the IMF archives, the volume offers a replicable database of all IMF-mandated reforms from 1980-2019, and examines their effects on social policies and outcomes. A Thousand Cuts reveals that although the precise content of IMF-mandated austerity has changed, the organization continues to place a high burden of reform on countries in crisis. These reforms then decrease the availability of important social services and contribute to rises in income inequality and declines in population health. You can order A Thousand Cuts directly from Oxford University Press and receive a 30% discount using the promotion code: ASFLYQ6. The dataset and the supplementary statistical code are available through IMF Monitor and the IMF Monitor Dataverse. |
