Prof. Christina Boswell and Dr. Iain Hardie 

Research project

My research is an analysis of the decision-making process that led to the creation of the three European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) of financial activities after the 2007 financial crisis in the European Union. I adopt an institutional approach with the goal of exploring the use of symbolic mechanisms in the decision-making process for legitimation purposes.
