Dr Tomasz P.

He focuses on developing research on comparative federalism. Dr Woźniakowski’s second area of research interest is the role of parliaments in European economic governance. He defended his doctoral degree in the discipline of political and social sciences at the European University Institute in Florence in 2018.
– Graduating with both a degree in political science and a degree in history (University of Wrocław) allows me to draw on the methodologies and research workshops of both fields, which I use in my research, he emphasises. – In 2022, Oxford University Press published my monograph entitled “Fiscal Unions: Economic Integration in Europe and the United States”, which filled a gap in research on the sources of fiscal authority in multidimensional political systems. He is currently directing two research projects received under the competitive programmes of the National Science Centre (Sonata grant) and the National Agency for Academic Exchange (grant Bekker’s at LUISS University in Rome).
