Thesis Supervision
Dóra welcomes thesis supervision in international and comparative political economy broadly understood. In addition, she is interested in research projects specifically oriented toward international financial relations and the intersections of finance, security, and development. Because (in spite) she studies finance, Dóra is interested in qualitative methods, institutional analysis, interpretive, and practice-oriented approaches.
